David Hume & Miracles (Part 1)- The Relevant Background Knowledge

from Real Seekers Hosted by Real Seeker Ministries

In this episode, I go over the relevant background knowledge outlining David Hume's famous (or rather infamous) argument against testimonial evidence for miracles. Furthermore, I outline world-renowned Christian philosopher Richard Swinburne's devastating critique of Hume's argument on this front. Finally, I provide a general outline on some background knowledge about the modern philosophical feild known as the "Epistemology of Testimony". In Part 2, I will provide my own in-depth evaluation/analysis, where I refute every single premise of Hume's outdated and utterly fallacious argument- let's just say I will conclusively demonsrate that Hume's argument on miracles lives up to its reputation as an "abject failure"!
