Can Hume Get A Witness?
Looking at David Hume's philosophy on miracles, now we find ourselves not seeing Hume interact with miracle claims, but questioning if someone can even be a witness to a miracle. Can Hume get a witness? It seems his standard is both circular and redefining of key terms. We see that taking Hume at his standard not only allows for no inductive evidence to come in but leads to some repercussions in daily life that would destroy most of our knowledge. So, ya know, the small things.

Ye Ol' Skeptics
Kicking off our discussion on miracles we go back to Ye Ol' Times and see if there are any Ye Ol' Skeptics of miracles claims. Or do we take the Enlightenment unenlightened view that everyone just believed everything and it wasn't until the Smarty Pants Times did we learn to properly scoff at historical claims of miracles. Well, if only someone had written down history during that time. If only.

Woke Theology Needs Proper Hermeneutics
With the final critique of our four ethics we end with the Virtue Ethics' response to Prophetic Ethics. A very important point made is how Woke Theology needs proper hermeneutics. There is a missing element, according to Virtue Ethics that Woke Theology has and without it it lets other narratives come in and fill the missing elements with something else and it doesn't even have to be Christian.
