There is something about this line that I love. It seems complex yet simple in the way it argues such a fascinating thought.
David Hume on miracles, in his Enquiry concerning human understanding, in 1748:
“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 it endeavours to establish.”
Brilliant.
