Barker's 'problem of history': miracles cannot be established from historical evidence — same Humean presupposition as Ehrman

Skeptics Respond To The Evidence For The Resurrection of Jesus 00:27:14 – 00:27:45

Mike analyzes Barker's first objection

Barker states: 'If miracles do happen we still can't learn that from historical evidence.' Mike calls this 'putting on blinders' — you cannot ask a question you are not allowed to answer and then pretend you've answered it. This is the same a priori methodological naturalism used by Hume and Ehrman.
