In the beginning of the passage in this section he brings up how we can assume that there would be better weather in June then December because we know this by experience. But we can sometimes be wrong. This goes back to being a part of nature not a miracle.

Miracles- Hume
When reading the section about Hume's views on miracles it made me really think about it. He talks about how we shouldn't believe in miracles because there is no proof to actually say they're miracles. Miracles is learned from experience. You hear people talking about miracles happening all the time. For example, my grandpa was supposed to die and all the doctors even said there was no chance of him living. He is now living a healthy life; he is perfectly fine. Even though he was on his death bed. Is that a miracle or is that nature? Maybe that was just supposed to happen, he wasn't meant to die then. No one can really believe a miracle happened by hearing it from someone else according to Hume. How are we supposed to know if it is really true?

I thought Hume said that the only way to believe in miracle is to hear it from someone who have great reputation, someone that you trust very much! because there is no way of proving miracle, it might just simply a law of nature.
I think a miracle is nature.........these things just tend to happen at the right times and thats why they are called miracles...
