A:

There are hundreds of gods, and even today many are worshipped somewhere in the world. Almost all of them are credited with miracles, but the great British philosopher David Hume said in his essay 'Of Miracles', published in his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748), that there is no evidence sufficient to establish that any of the claimed historical miracles actually occurred. He said that by the very nature of the case - a miracle being contrary to the uniform experience of humankind - it is unlikely that the initial evidence against a miracle will ever be outweighed by the evidence in favour of it.
