A:
Thomas Aquinas (Contra Gentiles) thought miracles proved the truth of Christianity, since "a visible work that can be from God alone proves the teacher of truth to be invisibly inspired." But it must be remembered that miracles always seem to have been reported after the event, usually by those who would want the miracle to have truly occurred. The great British philosopher David Hume (Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Of Miracles) said it is possible to imagine a case where the evidence against a miracle will be outweighed by the evidence in favour of it but, in such a case, the miracle would not serve as a foundation for any particular system of religion over another.
Reports of miracles can teach us belief in the truth of religion, but as Hume says, history does not provide us with cases of miracles that are attested to by a sufficient number of credible witnesses.
