"That 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 which it endeavors to establish: And even in that case there is a
mutual destruction of arguments, and the superior only gives us an assurance
suitable to that degree of force which remains after deducting the inferior."
David Hume (1711-1776)
"Trust a witness in all matters in which neither his self interest, his
passions, nor the love of the marvelous is strongly concerned. When they
are included, require corroborative evidence in exact proportion to the
contravention of probability by the thing testified."
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895)
