If I understand Hume's position, it's an argument to the most likely hypothesis, a la Bayes. I haven't finished Craig's paper but he seems to be arguing that assigning the probability of a miracle to be low in comparison to the alternatives is a form of begging the question. I confess I have some sympathy for Craig's position.
