There are many amazing things in this world. One of the most astonishing is that many people still appear to believe in talking snakes and asses, global floods, virgins magically impregnated, invisible undetectable gods up in the sky, men living inside fish, eternal paradise/heaven, prophets riding horses up to heaven where 72 virgins await martyrs, and dead guys waking up after 3 days.

But then people who substitute faith for thinking have no intellectual horsepower anyway.
