Note that Thomas was not asked to believe "without evidence." He had the
testimony of those who had observed when he was absent, but refused to
believe them. He demanded direct, personal evidence. How would you react
if I insisted that Pim did not exist because I had never personally met
him? If on meeting I declared, "I don't think you are Pim"? How far can
one carry silly denials?
