| C.S. Lewis |
In two previous posts in this blog I have mentioned the miracle of Fatima: What does science say about miracles and Abduction and the no-miracles argument. In the first post I proposed a trilemma (similar to that by C.S. Lewis) that can be applied, in general, to all miracles, considered as historical facts:
1. Either that fact actually happened, i.e. the witnesses told the truth.
2. Or the fact did not occur, and the witnesses deliberately lied.
3. Or the fact did not occur, but the witnesses did not lie, they were simply wrong, or had been the prey of a collective hallucination, or some equivalent explanation.
