It was Kierkegaard who took this idea to its ultimate conclusion, which is that the greater the unlikeliness of what you believe, the greater your faith. To believe something which is objectively and provably false, would require the greatest faith of all.
So, as a result, people who labor to prove that their view is true in an objective way (and I won't be specific here for fear of getting the topic closed) are the people whose faith is lacking.
I'm not saying that's what I think, just that Kierkegaard had something to say on the topic.
