Our readingWhat is a korrent?
A miracle against or beyond nature is an absurdity, so Scripture's miracles can only be works of nature
Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said
What Baruch Spinoza actually said
- Baruch Spinoza Dutch philosopher (1632 to 1677)
I think I have now sufficiently established my second point, so that we can again conclude that a miracle, whether in contravention to, or beyond, nature, is a mere absurdity; and, therefore, that what is meant in Scripture by a miracle can only be a work of nature, which surpasses, or is believed to surpass, human comprehension.
