hume - section X
Miracles are a huge disbelief to this day. It does have a tie with religion in my opinion. Miracles are definately bending the laws of nature and seeming almost impossible at times. But there have been many past experiences of people surviving cancer or waking up from a coma. Events that have no explanation. Some people may call it luck but I believe in miracles. Hume argues that there is no reason to believe in such a thing. That most events that have taken place are in the testiment and are all told by word of mouth to this day. "Religion is based on faith, not reason." This statement is true in my eyes and I still see many people to believe in miracles even if most of them are in second hand experience.

i think it all depends on our definition of miracle. i think a miracle is an amazng unexpected occurrance that changes people's lives. i think that there are things that people will never understand WHY something happened..but it did. i think it is logical to believe that unexpected amazing things can happen (a.k.a miracles) because no one can really predict the future or exact outcomes of certain things. if hume thinks that its illogical for miracle to exist, then is it illogical to desire great things to happen?
