      criticism
    • David Hume thought that people are naturally fascinated by things that seem unusual and bizarre, and as they pass these things on, they exaggerate. He had thought that people should only believe in a miracle if it was more remarkable or surprising that the miracle hadn't happened than if it had happened. He also claimed that, in all of human history, there is no example of a miracle that was witnessed by enough sensible, educated people to believe it really happened
