  • How Did We Get Here?: Miracles

    Reeder's Alley Conference & Community Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, Montana, United States

    In 1748, the Scottish philosopher David Hume defined a miracle as “a violation of the laws of nature,” and quickly went on to suggest that, at least in modern times, such things could never happen. This contrasts with classical times, where miracles were seen as very much being within the realm of possibility. In this evening’s program, we’ll survey some of the major changes and developments that allowed Hume’s statement to seem so obvious. And we’ll reflect on some ways in which the older, half-forgotten ways of seeing might still contain helpful possibilities for us today. Learn more & RSVP here!
