Untitled[edit]

I would have liked to see some of the arguments Earman used against David Hume's 'Of Miracles.'

Removal of vanity notice[edit]

I removed the vanity notice. I came to the page because one of my professors gave me a list of good current philosophers of science, and Earman was first. Incidently, my professor had previously been at UPitt... In any case there are like 25,000 google hits for "john earman" -wikipedia. Intangir 05:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As other evidence of notability there is an article in the sept. 2002 Scientific American about Earman's hole argument Intangir 05:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
