Lecture Description:

Modern people, including believers, can be embarrassed by miracles, fearing to be accused of superstition or unwarranted credulity. Can it ever be rational to believe in miracles? In order to answer this question and the skeptical objections that have been raised, we will consider the fundamental principles at work: What are miracles? Can they violate laws of nature? How can we know that they have occurred? What do they tell us about God, about the world and ourselves? How about miracle claims in other religions?
