"Of Miracles" by David Hume
#17
RE: "Of Miracles" by David Hume
Additional: if I understand correctly, Hume isn't claiming that there are no miracles, he's stating that the claim that something is a miracle should always be rejected. Is that a fair assessment?

Because all WLC is trying to do is establish that miracles are possible. Even if they are, it does not refute Hume's position.

The amount of bullshit he wraps around logical fallacies and tautoligies is quite astonishing though. If theists have the truth, why all the unfounded assumptions, lies, logical fallacies, unfalsifiable claims and emotional manipulation? And nothing else of substance. Ever.

Yes I said it, ever. Give me any piece of apologetics which is actually supposed to make a positive case that God exists beyond reasonable doubt, that a certain religion is "true", or in fact that any supernatural event has ever happened, and it will rely at some point on one of those things. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong on that. I'm not saying claims put forward are false, I'm saying they can't be demonstrated to be true beyond reasonable doubt.

There, I've put my tackle on the chopping block. If anyone can prove me wrong on that, I'll be in for a serious shell shock.
