Which statement describes a hallmark of Deism's view on miracles and revelation?

• A. Skeptical of Christianity, miracles and supernatural revelation
• B. Believes miracles are common
• C. Denies the existence of God
• D. Emphasizes revelation through visions

Answer: (A)

Deism holds that God created the world but does not intervene in its affairs, so miracles and supernatural revelation are rejected. Knowledge of God comes through reason and the observation of nature rather than through extraordinary acts or visions. This makes skepticism toward Christianity, miracles, and supernatural revelation the defining hallmark. The other options don’t fit because they imply belief in common miracles, or outright denial of God, or emphasis on revelatory visions—positions that Deism does not endorse.
