Conclusion.
What's the rationale of incredulity? I - Difficulty - God.
What's the rationale of faith? I - God - Difficulty
Incredulity excludes God. Faith places God in the center.

We can find the greatest treasures in cemeteries, not diamonds, gold or silver.
But, indeed, dreams. Lack of faith, remained only the dream.
Caleb: Involved, convicted, remembering, for 45 years.
His faith did not freeze.
