À propos de cet audio
How can it ever be reasonable to accept the testimonial evidence of an alleged miracle over the mass of evidence that the natural world behaves according to the laws of nature? Could it be rational to accept that miracles could theoretically occur, or are miracles impossible violations of nature? Dr. Timothy McGrew discusses the history of objections to miracles, focusing on Hume and Spinoza, and puts forth positive and negative criteria for evaluating the evidence behind a miracle claim. We discuss the evidence for miracle claims from the Bible, from Catholicism (Eucharistic miracles and the healings at Lourdes), and from religions other than Christianity. We conclude with a personal testimony on how to remain faithful to God in the face of unanswered prayers and undelivered miracles.
