Miracles

"A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature; and as a firm and unalterable experience has established these laws, the proof against a miracle, from the very nature of the fact, is as entire as any argument from experience can possibly be imagined.".....................

I do think that a miracle is an unexpected situation. For example, there has been times where I have heard that a person is really sick and in the verge of dying, but then found out that they became well as opposed to how they were. Many people believe in miracles today and I would perhaps be one of them. Hume is right, miraces do consist with the laws of nature and they are just full of surprises. Hume was alert that no matter how scientific or rational a civilization became, belief in miracles would not be eliminated.
