The Argument from Miracles
Summary
In discussing the Problem of Evil and attempted solutions to it, I mentioned that Theists usually believe that God has performed occasional miracles. Here we shall consider whether the claim that miracles have occurred could ever provide sufficient evidence for believing in the existence of God.
A miracle can be defined as some kind of divine intervention in the normal course of events which involves breaking an established law of nature.
Most religions claim that God has performed miracles, and that the reports of these miracles should be treated as confirmation that God exists.
