No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish

Summary

This quote, attributed to philosopher David Hume, suggests that in order for a miracle to be considered credible, the evidence supporting it must be truly extraordinary. The testimony presented should be so compelling that the idea of it being false would be more remarkable than the actual occurrence of the miracle itself. Hume argued that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, emphasizing the need for skepticism and critical examination when evaluating supernatural or miraculous events.
