Most Americans Believe in the Supernatural

A new Harris poll has found that 80 percent of Americans believe in God, while 73 percent believe in heaven, 71 percent believe Jesus is the Son of God and 70 percent believe in the resurrection and that the Bible is all or in part the Word of God. In contrast, only 47 percent believed in the Darwinian theory of evolution, while 40 percent believed in creationism. The interesting flip-side to this is that 44 percent said they believe in ghosts, and 31 percent believed in both witches and astrology.
