...no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact which it endeavors to establish. David Hume

In this episode, we consider objections and critiques to the ontological argument, as set out by St. Anselm/Plantinga. We specifically look at Gaunilo's response, as well as critiques by Kant and Aquinas. In response to St. Anselm, there have been many interesting points made over the years, and the topic also highlights the rationalist vs. empiricist debate in the renaissance. In the next episode, we will look at Gottfried Leibniz and his contribution to science, philosophy, and mathematics.

Always feel free to let us know what you think, or any episode requests. We would love to hear from you!

Thank you for listening and we'll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!
