Heck, it might make it easier to believe, depending on the picture—“The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.”
On the other hand sometimes the impossible is simply incomprehensible and the brain doesn’t even understand what ‘believing’ it would mean. (Which is what my brain is doing here.) Perhaps this is because it is related behind the scenes to certain brands of ‘anthropic’ reasoning that I tend to reject.
