No-miracles Argument

The No-Miracles Argument is a philosophical argument in the debate between scientific realism and anti-realism that asserts the empirical success of scientific theories would be miraculous if those theories were not at least approximately true, thereby distinguishing it from other arguments by grounding the realist position in the explanatory necessity of truth for predictive accuracy.
