- Criticisms of Wiles argument on Miracles
- Wile's argument is inconsistent with biblical accounts which make it clear that God does intervene in the world
- The miracles described in the Bible are depicted as religiously significant and important in the Bible and so cannot simple be dismissed
- It is wrong to say that if God only intervenes in particular cases he is immoral
- God is considered extremely morally perfect in classical theism, even if we cannot currently understand or see this in particular situations
- Wiles misunderstands the purpose of miracles
- They are not necessarily to help people, but to reveal something about God and to have religious significance
- God may not have intervened in the Holocaust because although it would have stopped the suffering, it might not have been the appropriate way for God to reveal himself
- Wile's argument is inconsistent with biblical accounts which make it clear that God does intervene in the world
