Three in five UK adults say they believe some form of miracle is possible, a survey commissioned by the BBC has suggested.
Nearly half of those questioned on behalf of BBC Local Radio admitted to praying for a miracle at some time.
However, when it comes to the miracles of Jesus, nearly half say they do not believe he did miraculous things.
Market research firm Comres surveyed 2,002 British adults by telephone between 16 and 26 August.
The survey suggested:
62% of British adults believe some form of miracle is possible today
Nearly three-quarters aged 18-24 say they believe some form of miracle is possible today, more than any other age group
43% say they have prayed for a miracle
37% of British adults who attend a religious service at least monthly say they believe the miracles of Jesus happened word for word as described in the Bible
Half of this group say they have prayed for a miracle which was answered in the way they had hoped
But 37% of Christians have never prayed for a miracle
A miracle is regarded by many as a fortuitous event believed to have been caused by divine intervention, prayer or worship.

I am shocked, I thought the UK had mostly outgrown this sort of thing
I was also shocked that Hillary Clinton lost the election, contrary to most predictions. Survey "by telephone" -- does that mean landlines, mobile, or, both? And, what percentage of Brits have each type?
