Did Hume Demolish Miracles? Michael Ruse vs Gary Habermas
Playback speed
Do extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence? The 18th century philosopher David Hume is credited with originating the phrase often used by atheists and sceptics. In a second show, Christian philosopher Gary Habermas and atheist philosopher Michael Ruse debate whether Hume established that it is irrational to believe in miracles.
They also discuss the evidence for the resurrection and what it would take for Ruse to believe in a miracle.
