For the hiker lingering before the summit cross of the Gaisberg, I offer the viewer, who does not just want to enjoy the view, a core quote from Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), whom Wikipedia honors as "one of the most influential Christian apologists of modern times": + "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
