Miracles: What Standard of Evidence Should They Meet?

Описание: Miracles: What Standard of Evidence Should They Meet?

What should count as convincing evidence for a miracle claim? Personal testimony? Ancient texts? Scientific validation? In this video, we take a critical-thinking approach to miracles and ask a question that’s surprisingly controversial: should extraordinary claims be held to a higher standard of evidence—or the same standard we use everywhere else?

Rather than attacking or defending any particular belief system, this discussion focuses on how we evaluate claims, why humans are drawn to miracle stories, and what happens when standards of evidence shift depending on what we want to believe. If you care about intellectual honesty, epistemology, and evidence-based reasoning, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Presented by Bo Bennett, PhD, founder and creator of the Cognitive Fitness App, this video is part of an ongoing series designed to strengthen critical thinking, reduce bias, and encourage thoughtful discussion on philosophical, religious, political, and social issues.
