Hume 2

Hume talks about miracles in section X. He believes that we should treat miracles as less reliable due to the fact that they are second handedly told to us. If evidence in presented then may we could put more stock into the information. But here is a question... could this just be a coincidence or really a miracle? first we have to examine what supposedly happened? I mean i know in those days, medicine was not the best but I mean if someone is sick and they get better couldnt it just have been your body fighting it off? Yes miracles are considered to be events that are against the laws of nature but who is to say that with the certian conditions and curcumstances that it could not actualyl have happened, it many not be frequently but it does happen from time to time. I dont know I am pretty skeptical about this whoel miracle thing in general.

I feel the same way as you do. Miralces happen but how do we know that they happen.
