Episode notes
Miracles Strengthen Spiritual Conviction
- Miracles augment faith by instilling love, respect, and confidence in divine providence.
- They help people transcend self-limiting beliefs by showing the natural order is contingent on God's will.
Philosophy, Not Science, Drives Miracle Rejection
- Denying miracles usually rests on philosophical commitments like naturalism rather than purely empirical objections.
- If God created the laws, He can suspend them, so miracles are logically possible for theist frameworks.
Reframing Natural Laws Frees Miracles From Contradiction
- Hume and Spinoza challenged miracles from Enlightenment presuppositions, but their critiques depend on narrower conceptions of God.
- Treating natural laws as descriptions rather than prescriptions allows miracles as exceptions without contradiction.
