Most Doctors Believe In Miracles
74% Of
Doctors Believe In Miracles, 55% Have Seen Them
By James Bishop
A national survey of 1100 physicians,
conducted by HCD
Research and
the Louis Finkelstein Institute for
Religious and Social Studies of The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York
City, found that 74% of doctors believe that miracles have occurred in the past
and 73% believe that they still occur today.
The poll also
indicated that American physicians are surprisingly religious, with 72%
indicating they believe that religion provides a reliable and necessary guide
to life.
Dr. Alan Mittleman, Director of The
Finkelstein Institute, says that: “The
picture that emerges is one where doctors, although presumably more highly
educated than their average patient, are not necessarily more secular or
radically different in religious outlook than the public.”
Perhaps
the most surprising result of the survey is that a majority of doctors (55%)
said that they have seen treatment results in their patients that they would
consider miraculous (45% do not).
Thus, of the 1100
physicians examined, 605 claimed to have witnessed a medical miracle.
Most physicians
pray for their patients as a group (51%). Even more, 59% pray for individual
patients.
This
reminds me of my personal doctor who is not particularly religious in any way.
On one occasion
she booked an elderly lady in for a back operation to rectify a dislodged
spinal disc.
A few days before
the operation, in which my GP was operating as an assistant, the woman returned
to her practice claiming that her back had healed after her family had prayed
for her.
Scans of her back
confirmed this full recovery and the operation was cancelled.
When I asked my GP
what she thought of this she said that “some
things are not scientifically explainable.”

Creation shows the power of
God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
lyrics
Verse
Creation shows the power of
God,There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
Chorus
I believe in miracles,
I've seen a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one
Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one
Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily
push its way
up through the stubborn sod;
I believe in miracles,
for I believe in God!
push its way
up through the stubborn sod;
I believe in miracles,
for I believe in God!
I cannot doubt the work of
God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
The love of God!
O pow'r divine!
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.
O pow'r divine!
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.
