74% Of Doctors Believe In Miracles, 55% Have Seen Them By James Bishop - May 6, 2017 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."

Miracles are real but aren't entertainment oriented. That's why God don't respond to temptation. |

007author: Maybe the next time you are admitted in a hospital make sure you demand that no Doctor Who believes in miracles should be your doctor. Make sure an atheist doctor gets to be your doctor alright? And by the way, there is also a report and study on that so let me show you the findings below Terminally-ill patients would be well advised to find out the religious beliefs of their doctor, according to research showing the effect of faith on a doctor's willingness to make decisions that could hasten death. |

Lol. Stupid thread. I would have taken the claims more seriously if u got it from a peer reviewed paper. Not some claim being promoted by a religious website that even clearly states that the research was conducted by a religious body. Talk about bias. Secondly, even some irreligious people and atheists believe miracles are possible. They just don't believe it should be attributed to the Abrahamic god or any other god for that matter. You guys have completely lost your sense of rationality. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

If miracles are true there won't be any need for doctors in the first place. In fact if Christianity is true, there won't be any need for doctors. We know what the bible recommended when it comes to illness. It did not recommended a visit to doctors. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. James 5:14-15 Almost all christians do NOT heed to this injunction, in fact we have seen christians berating the few that show their true display of faith and belief when they adhere to these injunction by refusing to go to the hospital and chosing to believe the Bible and rely only on prayers because they know it is very foolish and will certainly fail. The Drs always do their best for their patients and some of them at the end give credit to their imaginary God. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

dalaman:. False Dichotomy Fallacy. If the whole world were Christian then your claim would be true. But since it isn't, then you are simply dropping a hot fallacy Even in Bible days, miracles were not for everyone and were not everywhere (as it were). Even Jesus did not perform miracles everywhere as expressly depicted in scripture. 2 Likes 1 Share |

butterflyl1on: Lol. Keep clowning around. The article you are quoting even says "terminally ill" patients. And it doesn't even mention that there was a miracle after. So that means they all died eventually. But leave it to butteflylion to bring up a completely irrelevant argument that had nothing to do with the quote he replied to. 2 Likes |

NPComplete: Yet the terminally ill do not deserve a miracle right? When medicine fails in the case of terminally ill patients what is the next line of focus, if not the miraculous? You obviously don't think before you type which is why you felt what i posted had nothing to do with the OP. Keep clowning. And no the article never said "they all died" it simple inferred that the terminally ill deserve to also have their own choices for prolonging their lives even in their terminal state and not having somebody cut it short for them based on their atheistic or irreligious medical leaning. 2 Likes |

hopefulLandlord: How ignorant you always are. Makes you easy pickings. I suppose this medically published and peer reviewed article on the same thing is also biased. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1376534/ And in case you wish to lie and twist. This is from the Abstract Abstract What is Euthanasia? euthanasia It's obvious that what a lot of you do here is try to paint atheism in false glory when it only offers everything and anything bleak and hopeless. When an atheist sees no higher order or higher hand behind life he believes he cannot be held accountable for his actions by an authority beyond man so he can become judge and jury over any life and worse still when such an atheist is in the medical profession. The medical article speaks volumes and you can try putting your usual merry twist to it Fire away as hard as you can. 2 Likes |

butterflyl1on: What has the whole world being christian got to do with anything? Even Christians prefer going to the hospitals over relying on God alone and prayers for healing because they know that hospitals work while prayers and God doesn't. If miracles work christians will rely on it exclusively after all the bible recommended it and not hospitals. |
