Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Internal Evidence for the Truth of Revealed Religion: And an Essay on Faith There is a principle in our nature which makes us dissatisfied with unexplained and unconnected facts; which leads us to theo rise all the particulars of our knowledge, or to form in our minds some system of causes sufficient to explain or produce the effects which we see; and which teaches us to believe or disbelieve in the truth of any system which may be presented to us, just as it appears adequate or inadequate to afford that explanation of which we are in pursuit. We have an intuitive perception that the appearances of Nature are connected by the relation of cause and effect and we have also an instinctive desire to classify and arrange the seemingly confused mass of facts with which we are surrounded, according to this.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Internal Evidence: For the Truth of Revealed Religion and Leslie's Short Method With the Deists Supposition of this cause, and tallies exactly with its ordinary operation; we resist both rea son and instinct when we resist the conviction that this class of facts does result from this cause. On this process of reasoning is ground ed our conviction that the various phenomena of the heavenly bodies are results from the principle or law of gravitation. That great master of theories, Adam Smith, has given a most appropriate and beautiful illustration of this principle, in his History of Astronomy. He has there shown, how the speculative sys tem was always accommodated to the phenom ena which had been observed; and how, on each new discovery in point of fact, a corres ponding change necessarily took place in the form of the system.

Download or read book David Hume s Argument Against Miracles written by Francis Beckwith and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1989 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author offers a critical analysis of David Hume's argument against miracles from his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, "Of Miracles" is one of the most influential works written in defense of the position that belief in supernatural occurrences is not reasonable. Using Hume's work as a point of departure, the author addresses the two most important epistemological questions asked about miracles: Is it ever reasonable to ascribe a divine source to an anomalous event in order to identify it as miraculous? and What theoretically entails sufficient evidence that a miracle has actually taken place? Contemporary rehabilitations of Hume's argument, as put forth by Antony Flew, Alastair McKinnon, and Patrick Nowell-Smith, are evaluated. Contents: Defining the Miraculous; Hume's Argument, Part 1;Hume's Argument, Part 2;The Rationality of Belief and the Existence of God; Contemporary Rehabilitations of Hume's Argument; and Miracles and Evidence.
