What is the relationship between evidence and faith? Why do you think Zerahemnah cannot see God’s hand in the Nephite victory? Latter-day Saint scholar John W. Welch wrote: “In an important sense, evidence makes belief possible. I am very impressed by the words of Austin Farrar in speaking about C. S. Lewis and quoted by Elder Maxwell on several occasions: ‘Though argument does not create conviction, lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows that ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish’” (“Power of Evidence in the Nurturing of Faith,” 156).
