In English the prefix "in" is one of the ways a word can be changed to denote its opposite. Indescribable is the opposite of describable, indecisive is the opposite of decisive. Incredible, however, is not the opposite of credible. I wonder if it used to be. If so, it means that our language has changed to embrace the formerly non-credible as miraculous (or simply rare) instead.
