David Hume’s Argument against Miracles Cannot Be Disputed. I Prove It Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt! by John W. Loftus

The title to this post echoes the certainty of David Hume, known as the greatest English speaking philosopher. He said: I flatter myself, that I have discovered an argument which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures. [Enquiry “Of Miracles” X (#86)] I argue this is still true. Now I’m not sure why many Christian intellectuals ignore my books and my arguments. Many or most evangelical apologists know of them. So I’ll say it. I think many of them have decided not to deal with them, or to give them any oxygen, because they cannot dispute them. It’s so much easier to go after popular but low hanging fruit. Apologist Frank Turek, for instance, knows of my work but never addresses it in his daily posts at X (or Twitter). I find that very odd. So I must conclude he cannot dispute them.

Okay this sounds like I’m challenging apologists to a Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, so it makes me arrogant. But I have the goods. Others do as well. Is it really arrogant to say Christianity of the evangelical kind is bunk, when it is in fact bunk? No it’s not, not anymore than it is to say Leprechauns don’t exist. Many atheists, agnostics, deists, and even liberals agree with me on that score. But because I state the obvious many evangelical apologists will conclude I’m uniformed of the underpinnings of their faith, since they are so sure of it. They might also think that way of the title to this blog. I can’t change that now. But if they read just one of my papers they will see my scholarship. Check out just one peer reviewed paper, in defense of David Hume on miracles at The Secular Web. THIS ONE. Can you dispute it? I say you can’t do it. Timothy McGrew, I’m looking at you.
