Hume Destroys Testimony - All Testimony - Ep.315 - Miracles - Hume & the Philosophic Questions - Pt4

Hume is back at it again with destroying more of our ability to know things. Here, we look at how Hume destroys testimony - all testimony. His standard for witnesses is so unreasonable that no witnesses can match it. His description of the normal goings of nature leaves no room for unusual events - even events we know happen. Hume is really losing a lot just to not accept miracles.
