WHERE WE ARE

Although Spinoza’s primary objection against miracles fails, Spinoza’s second objection against miracles appears to be a powerful and devastating objection against belief in miracles. Spinoza points out that humans cannot distinguish between true miracles (that are brought about by God) and fake miracles (that are brought about by some other supernatural being, such as an angel or a demon).

In the 3rd edition of his book Reasonable Faith (hereafter: RF3), the Christian philosopher William Craig raises three objections against Spinoza’s second objection. 

FOUR POSTS ON CRAIG’S CASE

I have written four blog posts that critically examine Craig’s case against Spinoza’s second objection against belief in miracles. In these articles, I show that Craig’s case fails:

Craig vs. Spinoza: A Big Problem for Belief in Miracles

Craig vs. Spinoza: Craig’s Objections to Spinoza’s Second Objection against Miracles

Craig vs. Spinoza: Craig’s Doctrinal-Context Objection
