Examination No. 2 Question #2

Apply David Hume's empirical method for assessing testimony of miracles (Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Ch. 10) to: [a] testimony of a Santa Claus sighting - flying, towed by reindeer, the whole lot; and [b] testimony of the biblical witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Critically compare and contrast the two applications.

Refresh yourself on your understanding of 'contrary to experience' and it's implications on Hume's method.
