"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." (13th Article of Faith)

All of those things would have been (at some point in history) considered "unthinkable", "impossible", "unfathomable" (light bulb, flight, space travel, fall of the Berlin wall). Walking on the moon was "unprecedented", as well as the laptop and riding a bike with prosthetic limbs--would have seemed crazy/unthinkable at one point in time. The invention of the printing press was a "single act that changed history". The narrative is that Christ lived and died, like all before him. But rising from the grave was "unprecedented" even as it seems "unthinkable" and "impossible" and "unfathomable". So maybe for our mortal minds we shouldn't be too quick to shut the door or refuse to make space for putting some faith in the resurrection.
Neylan McBaine's team produced this video and it seemed to me to be really good work, not to mention a breath of fresh air in comparison to much of the sappy stuff that gets passed around as "faith promoting". Really impressed.
"Belief is tricky, because left to its own devices it can court a kind of surety, an unquestioning allegiance that fears doubt and destroys difference." -Barbara Kruger
"The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it."
