Euclid’s 35th Law

Intersecting Chords Theorem---
Again I have encountered something
I cannot understand.
It's as plain as day that this works.
I had it proven to me
By Presh Talwalkar,
Yet, my mind is incapable of knowing why
It works as a first principle.

How can anyone say God doesn't exist?
If God is infinitely wiser than any man---
I don't know why this simple axiom works...
I, like you,
Have to rest on faith that it does...

Errata---
I do now understand Intersecting Chords Theorem.
It is not the lines which are being measured as equal
But the segments of the circle as a whole.
However, some minds cannot attain to this knowledge
Therefore the previous is still a cogent argument.
And there are many things my mind cannot attain to, as well.
