eople are freed from bondage because they are viewed to be God’s chosen people. He says that it is their attempt to gain favor over other civilizations by making it seem, as they are the ones above all others. Their journeys are filled with miraculous events in order to embellish this claim. In fact, each religion is filled with miracles. Each one trying to outdo the other in order to establish itself as the true religion. However, no religion could provide proof of or defend logical arguments against such miracles. It is this same competitive nature that gives Hume even more doubt against miracles, because he says that each religion tries to be better than the other and it turns out that they all disprove each other. It is Hume’s opinion that no person can logically look back at such claims made by primitive people and accept them without questioning them with today’s knowledge. He says that it is because of this that religions are based on faith and not truth.All in all, Hume’s view of miracles reflects his fear of being deceived. He relies on sense-experience to form his opinions and not on what he is being told or by what people what he has learned. This is extremely evident when dealing with the laws of nature to disprove miracles. Hume makes a strong argument against miracles, which is hard to ignore especially with all of the knowledge about science that we have today. I wonder what he would have to say with the genetic breakthroughs of today?...
