92% of People Believe in God

From a Gallup Poll that has been run every decade going back to November 1944. Yes, 92% of Americans believe in God. Darwinism and Atheism have made little in-roads in people's belief in God.

Here's the Link. A couple on interesting parts of the survey – first, the percentage of people who believe in God actually increases if they have graduated college – 94% of college graduates believe in God.

Second, if you ask the question do you believe in God or a universal spirit, the number of people who say yes actually drops. This seems odd, as it is a seemingly a broader question.

No other comment, other than there are still a few people who believe the Earth is flat. There's just no way to get everyone to believe in something, no matter how obvious.

That was an interesting post. I do agree with your statement that “There’s just no way to get everyone to believe in something, no matter how obvious.” Given enough scientific evidence, however, most reasonable people eventually come around & common sense will prevail in the end. It may take a few millennia but well founded science is a powerful persuader. After all, even the flat-earthers numbered at about 92% – 94% once upon a time.
