Poll: Most
Americans Believe in Miracles
Newsweek, May 1, 2000
An overwhelming
majority of Americans believe that God performs miracles and nearly half say they have
personally seen or experienced one, according to a new Newsweek poll.
Eighty-four percent
of Americans said that God performs miracles. Seventy-nine percent say they believe that
the miracles described in the Bible actually took place, according to the Newsweek poll.
Sixty-three percent say they know someone who claims to have experienced a miracle, and 48
percent believe they have experienced or witnessed one.
It is overwhelmingly
Christians (90%) who believe in miracles, compared to 46 percent of non-Christians. Faith
in miracles among Evangelical Protestants is 98 percent. And 87 percent of those polled
said that miracles can happen to people of religious faiths different than their own.
About two-thirds of
Americans (67%) say they have prayed for a miracle. Strong majorities of Americans believe
God or the saints cure or heal sick people who have been given no chance of survival by
medical doctors (77%). People who face death in accidents or natural disasters can be
saved by a miracle, say 72 percent of those polled.
The poll data
appears as part of a new Newsweek story on miracles, available on newsstands Monday and
online on Newsweek.com on Sunday. Religion Editor Kenneth L. Woodward provides accounts of
modern-day miracles and profiles the role of miracles in each of the world's leading
religions.
Woodward's story
is adapted from his new book,
"The Book of Miracles"
(Simon & Schuster, 432 pages).
