I say Hume is wrong. In my opinion, a wise person should base their belief on the weight of evidence that is presented. It is foolish to believe that evidence for natural events outweighs the evidence for miracles. For example, the Big Bang Theory, which many scientists believe to be true, is an event that will never repeat itself. It’s a highly rare event, but if we followed Hume’s belief, it would be considered irrational to believe in the Big Bang Theory. It contradicts our uniform experience, even though it has been studied for a length of time. Just because something is extremely rare, does not mean it should be disqualified contrary to rational belief. New evidence can always turn up, so the improbability of the event would decrease.
