Argument from miracles

The argument from miracles is an argument for the existence of God that begins by asserting that there are kinds of possible events the best explanation for which would be supernatural agency. Traditionally, events of the relevant kind are known as miracles. All the argument requires is that miracles be such that the best explanations for them invoke supernatural agency.^[1]

Defenders of the argument include C. S. Lewis,^[2] Richard Swinburne,^[3] Gary Habermas,^[4] William Paley,^[5] and Samuel Clarke.^[6]
