In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I can conceive of a fully functional elephant with a beachball for a head. I can accept that such a thing is not possible.

This isn't difficult.

Usage varies.  According to a common usage, to say that you can conceive of something is to imply that it is possible.  So it depends upon what the person means.

I mean 'elephant' in the commonly accepted sense of a living member of the species Loxodonta africana. Like this:



I mean 'beachball' in the common sense of a light weight, brightly coloured inflatable ball used commonly at beaches. Like this.



Can you explain how a fully functional elephant with a beachball for a head is possible? I can conceive of it (I'm doing it right now, in fact) while at the same time being justified in accepting the impossibility.
