::::::::: Your comment starts from a faulty premise: it was not an observer who doubted that Peter could walk on water, but Peter himself doubted it ''while he was already walking on water''.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:49, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

::::::::::Sorry, I misread that. Nevertheless, that is an atypical example of doubt, as it involves a miracle making what is normally impossible suddenly possible (a little doubt is hardly surprising in any case; "I can't believe I'm walking on water!" would seem to be a normal response). I can basically see the connection between that and an athlete being ahead and suddenly taking a defeatist attitude and then losing. But the jump to the resurrection doesn't seem to fit in to this pattern. It's a very different type of doubt, and we agree that not all doubt is bad.
