Are miracles evidence of the existence of God?

[Porcupine]

As a good Hume-anist, I find it nonsensical to even talk about miracles. If a miracle can be defined as an act of God (either direct or indirect) that contravenes natural law, we’re already at a dead end - any evidence (such as eyewitnesses) to a ‘miraculous’ event will necessarily be outweighed by naturalistic explanations.

Hume settled this almost 300 years ago. It puzzles me that people still yammer about it.

All true and agreed.

Like I said: Supernatural, noun---that which if you have evidence of it it isn't itself.

Although, technically "supernatural" is an adjective.... so I should have said supernaturalness, supernaturality or supernature.

Even better, just miracle.


Miracle: Noun. That which if you have evidence of it it it swallows itself up into nonexistence.
