Miracles, induction, and retrodiction

Interesting thoughts from Steve Hays about Miracles and reconstructing the past: In the case of miracles, induction hits a wall. When the subsequent course of events is the result of a miracle, inductive inference can’t go further back than the miracle. It can’t reconstruct the past before the miracle occurred, because the post-miraculous state is not a product of the pre-miraculous state.

It can’t jump over that to the other side, because the chain of events prior to the miracle is a … Continue reading Miracles, induction, and retrodiction

Divine conceptualism is Univocism?

Some very great men that I admire think that Divine conceptualism employs univocal reasoning. Dr. James Anderson and Dr. Greg Welty have responses to such a charge. Mainly in responses to Nate Shannon. “Nevertheless, one might worry that identifying propositions with divine thoughts breaches the Creator-creation distinction.
