Swinburne and Morgan Luck on the Possibility or Impossibility of Miracles
Author(s):
Abstract:
Miracle has been known from a long time ago as an independent or cumulative evidence that religions have used for justification of their claims. But its epistemological and historical value and validity for believing in the prophets claims, specially their fundamental claim for the existence of God, has always been the root of dispute between science and religion and believers and non-believers. It is important for us in this article that we try to clarify if science can provide sufficient explanation for miracles that see them as violation of the law of nature? And can we reasonably accept the claim of religions that miracles have come from God and have evidential and epistemological value?
In this article, we want to consider the positive and negative answers to these questions focusing on the comments of Swinburne and Morgan Luck and some of their difficulties. Finally, we will conclude that miracles are cumulative evidence for the rationality of religious beliefs and claims.
