Premier Christian Radio are reporting a ‘vox pops poll’ which reveals the following:

Questions asked of 1,500 men and women.

March to May 2012. Southern England. Non specific age groups

1. Do you believe in Miracles?

YES 58%
NO 26%
UNSURE 16%

2. Do you know anyone who claims to have witnessed a Miracle?

YES 55%
NO 45%

3. Have you personally witnessed what you believe to be a Miracle?

YES 32%
NO 68%

I’ve asked Premier for information on the sample and a link to the research.

It strikes me that the term “miracle” is rather ambiguous; however, if we were to view it as an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws, then this would be significant.

If “miracle” is defined as simply a highly improbable serendipitous event, then this is less significant.

I’ll update if I get a response from Premier.
