Hume- natural law Dotto

The Empiricist view of natural law claims that patterns are based on observable events and findings. Such reasoning can only result in truth because such a method limits the holes of accountability in human understanding. Hume seems to doubt the existence of a god and thinks that miracles are merely violations of nature. However, Hume reasons that since natural law is based on observations, it is possible for there to be an unexperienced event appearing to be a miracle which could actually just be another outcome of an event, not necessarily the intervention of a supreme being.
