In regards to '''atheism and miracles''', modern scholars are divided on the issue of whether or not [[David Hume]] was an atheist.<ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hume-religion/#10</ref>  With that caveat in mind, Hume is well known for arguing that it is always more probable that the testimony of a miracle is false than that the miracle occurred.<ref>http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/docs/creation-providence.html</ref> Christian apologists [[William Lane Craig]], [[Norman Geisler]], [[C.S.

Impossibly high standards are often set for miracles to be accepted including requirements such as multiple doctor's testimonies from before and after a medical miracle may have occurred along with x-rays and other confidential medical information being made public. These standards, while the default requirement to medically prove a condition and its treatment irregardless if the cause is medicine or a miracle, are impossibly high for an [[act of God]] and require faith to believe them. When such evidence is produced it is simply stated to be inadequate or fraudulent.
