"A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature; and as a firm and unalterable experience has established these laws, the proof against a miracle, from the very nature of the fact, is as entire as any argument from experience can possibly be imagined."
Even though in my personal opinion Hume says that miracles are violations, I believe is wrong. I understand what point he is trying to make. In the laws of nature, routine is very present, like a certain season coming up, after spring comes summer, and so on, but for miracles, unexpected things to appear, does make Kant's point valid. However, I believe in situations of miracles, a strong faith in a higher being, has to appear, thats probably why Hume doesnt believe in miracles because he doesnt have faith in higher being that is amongst individuals.
