That's a pretty funny article, as it tries to make half sound like both a lot and a little in one sentence.

Quote: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.

Okay....that's a statistic that makes perfect sense. Why are they phrasing it like we should be shocked.

Also miracle is poorly defined. I'd imagine people define it pretty differently. Also 'at some time' half have prayed for a miracle?

Well yeah, so did I: when I was a child. So this survey groups atheists and Theists together based on what they did 'at some time' and tells you nothing of importance about anyone's current beliefs.
