Miracles (book)
He accuses modern historians and scientific thinkers, particularly secular biblical scholars, of begging the question against miracles, insisting that modern disbelief in miracles is a cultural bias thrust upon the historical record and is not derivable from it.[2] In each case, to assume the veracity of the conclusion would eliminate the possibility of valid grounds from which to reach it.In it, Lewis made the same argument but referred to atomic motions in the brain as "irrational".In a Socratic Club debate, Catholic analytical Thomist G. E. M. Anscombe criticized this, prompting Lewis to revise the chapter.The revised chapter presents a more detailed elucidation of the argument and distinguishes between "non-rational" and "irrational" processes.
