“akıl ya da doğruluk karşısında, i̇sa’nın buyruklarına ve otoritesine duyulan güvenin sonucu olan inancın önceliğini ve üstünlüğünü savunan tertullianus’un sözü: ‘saçma
olduğu için, inanıyorum’. zaman zaman ‘credo quia impossibile est’ (‘imkânsız olduğu için, inanıyorum’) olarak da ifade edilmiştir” (s. 183).
(ahmet cevizci (1999). paradigma felsefe sözlüğü)
ayrıca bkz.: credo quia absurdum is a latin phrase that means "i believe because it is absurd", originally misattributed to tertullian in his de carne christi. it is believed to be a paraphrasing of tertullian's "prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum est" which means "it is completely credible because it is unsuitable", or "certum est, quia impossibile" which means "it is certain because it is impossible". these are consistent with the anti-marcionite context. early modern, protestant and enlightenment rhetoric against catholicism and religion more broadly resulted in this phrase being changed to "i believe because it is absurd", displaced from its original anti-marcionite to a personally religious context.
