Is it Possible to Prove the Miracle?

One more statement in discussing the belief in a miracle is the testimony in opposition to the reality. He asserts that it forms a strong supposition against all paranormal actions, that they are observed to flourish among unaware and barbarous associates; or if well-bred people have ever given access to them, they will receive them from those unaware associates, who transmitted them with unbreakable approve, which always go to professed opinions. In this case a lot of things, that are considered miraculous in history, would not be such nowadays. The reality that most people believed long time ago, later is considered false or exaggerations. At different times people had different understanding of miracles; it depended on the political situation and scientific progress. For example, if nowadays the appearance of television or DVD is normal, some centuries ago everybody regarded it as a miracle. So, Hume discredits miracles to the period when this miracle takes place and the reality of people at that period. Hume says that during certain times we told about miracles from the point of view of travelers.
The last statement that Hume gives to disapprove miracles is that there must be certain number of witnesses to prove the miracle. He is sure that the witness should give the same testimony of the event. It would be better if as more people as possible could witness the same event, as consequences help to define the realism of the event. Hume finds difficulty in the belief or truthfulness of any person and difficulty to distinguish what is true or what is false in any place of history. Even a court of justice that is entitled to find out the truth, can not define with assurance if the event is real or not. If it is relied on the society through arguments and rumors, it would be very difficult to believe in miracle.
