Miracles Always Improbable
Summary
Hume say to have a law of nature you need to have the maximum amount of evidence to support it with nothing that can disprove it, so in the case of any report of a miracle, like a man resurrecting from the dead, there will always be more evidence to suggest that it didn’t occur than that it did. This is just a consequence of miracles involving the breaking of well-established laws of nature. So, using this argument, a wise person should always be extremely reluctant to believe a report that a miracle has occurred.
A wise person will always base what they believe, on the available evidence.
although we cannot absolutely rule out the possibility that the Resurrection occurred, according to Hume, we should be extremely reluctant to believe that it did.
