Hume's single exception: he would only accept a miracle if it was the lesser of two competing miracle claims

Hume acknowledged only one scenario in which he would credit a miracle — if two miracle claims competed and one was less miraculous than the other, he would accept the lesser. This is not a genuine openness to miracles but an epistemological trick. Mike connects Hume's logic to modern atheists like Carrier, Barker, and Harris.
