- Hume Humiliated In History – Ep.319 – Miracles – Developing Hume’s Skepticism Toward Miracles – Part 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nljMdwJ8bOo
Hume Humiliated In HistoryAfter looking at the science and philosophy of Hume, we now look at his take and impact on history. With looking at how the academy views the science of history we see that Hume is humiliated in history because he helped change what good history actually looks like. We discuss what that looks like and the repercussions here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewfCZYmu6mc
Agents Enter Into The PictureA little shorter episode this week as this section and the next section have two different focuses. We look at how Hume seems to carve out outside agents enter into the picture to save natural law. The only problem with that is then you leave out those pesky humans to be able to enter into the normal course of events to upset it all.

12 min - The Bad Effects Of Hume’s Philosophy – Ep.317 – Miracles – Developing Hume’s Skepticism toward Miracle – Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94MYkVIJeks
The Bad Effects Of Hume’s PhilosophyThe bad effects of Hume’s philosophy might not seem apparent on the surface; people have been disagreeing about miracles even as they happen. Yet, Hume supported locking people up in insane asylums who believed miracles happened. And while his support for his movement crumbled while failing to uphold its own standard, it led to religious studies being devalued and it helped in the lead up to liberalism in Christianity.

23 min - Circular David Hume & His Critics – Ep.316 – Miracles – Hume and the Philosophic Questions – Part 5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo9HckuKD4M
Circular David Hume & His CriticsFinishing up looking at David Hume’s Philosophy and we see that Hume is being so circular that you’ll find yourself dizzy. While he redefines miracles, provides circular arguments, and then begs the question, Hume won’t even allow the possibility of a miracle claim to be presented to be considered. Ol’ circular David Hume is not being a good philosopher and he’s being a bit lazy.

21 min - Hume Destroys Testimony – All Testimony – Ep.315 – Miracles – Hume and the Philosophic Questions – Part 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPNevdoi52c
Hume Destroys Testimony – All TestimonyHume is back at it again with destroying more of our ability to know things. Here, we look at how Hume destroys testimony – all testimony. His standard for witnesses is so unreasonable that no witnesses can match it. His description of the normal goings of nature leaves no room for unusual events – even events we know happen. Hume is really losing a lot just to not accept miracles.

25 min - Can Hume Get A Witness? – Ep.314 – Miracles – Hume and the Philosophic Questions – Part 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL3Mrd8EEfk
Can Hume Get A Witness?Looking at David Hume’s philosophy on miracles, now we find ourselves not seeing Hume interact with miracle claims, but questioning if someone can even be a witness to a miracle. Can Hume get a witness? It seems his standard is both circular and redefining of key terms. We see that taking Hume at his standard not only allows for no inductive evidence to come in but leads to some repercussions in daily life that would destroy most of our knowledge. So, ya know, the small things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcNw3WYfdac
Dismantling David HumeWe start dismantling David Hume at the best place to start – the beginning. Hume’s definition of miracles, his epistemology, and his claim of neutrality are the best places to see if the foundation of his critique cracks or even fails to support his claims.

26 min - Unbiased Ancient Historians & Biased Modern Day Ones – Ep.311 – Miracles – Antisupernaturalism As An Authenticity Criterion? – Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oUdCQOzMLA
Unbiased Ancient Historians & Biased Modern Day OnesBefore we dig into Hume, we finish our discussion on unbiased ancient historians and then bring in the fact that modern day historians tend to be more biased. Both cases interact with miracle claims but it seems that ancient historians tend to deal with those claims in a more fair way than modern skeptics.

33 min - Ye Ol’ Skeptics – Ep.310 – Miracles – Antisupernaturalism As An Authenticity Criterion? – Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6zXWaKvVmI
Ye Ol’ SkepticsKicking off our discussion on miracles we go back to Ye Ol’ Times and see if there are any Ye Ol’ Skeptics of miracles claims. Or do we take the Enlightenment unenlightened view that everyone just believed everything and it wasn’t until the Smarty Pants Times did we learn to properly scoff at historical claims of miracles. Well, if only someone had written down history during that time. If only.
