Yet another theorem WLC does not understand

[pureflix]

Jesus, it's less like you don't understand, and more like you _refuse to accept_ that the "court" analogy is not similar to "miracle" claims SPECIFICALLY due to a poverty of good evidence.

I'm 18 years old but tbh this is kinda confusing. I've a lot to learn from you Dr. craig. And also I am a big fan of yours, and I hope one day I will be like u.

This is my 2nd time watching this. But know, I'm more well informed about the Bayes theorem. And as expected... I get what is being presented here much better than before

If you are willing to affirm in the positive the dysgunctive syllogism of God or non God and the possibility of God creating all know and unknown existence, it really is a weak position to divorce that Being from the ability to turn water into wine and furthermore the superlative, raise the dead from the grave.

Awesome! 🌟 This message is so GOOD!! Since coming to faith, I have known just an incredible Joy and Peace that surpasses all understanding... God is awesome, amen?! 👊😇🌟

Dr. Craig explained Bayes theorem way better than my math professors

[diegotobaski]

Michael Jones from Inspiring Philosophy has the best case I have seen against Hume's argument against miracles. I think the title of the video is "Miracles".

The Bayesian probability that someone rose from the dead is zero.

Wonder if he’s looked at Mackie’s criticism of miracles

[williammunny]

*_Revelation 13.13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666._*

Humes argument against miracles could apply to trees. Namely there are no confirmed cases of trees existing. Since every report of a tree is highly unlikely since there are zero confirmed cases.

[lucasfc]

Humm so the conclusion is that the probability rises when summed up with hints now the problem is there are no hints. Don’t think it changed much

[ravissary]

Cue "there is no evidence" in 3, 2...

I studied Bayes theorem High School. Easy.
