Robertson: God gives fewer miracles to 'too-educated Americans' who learn science

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday explained to his viewers that "sophisticated" Americans received less miracles because they had learned "things that says God isn’t real" like evolution.

On Monday's episode of CBN's The 700 Club, Robertson responded to a viewer who wanted to know why "amazing miracles (people raised from the dead, blind eyes open, lame people walking) happen with great frequency in places like Africa, and not here in the USA?"

"People overseas didn't go to Ivy League schools," the TV preacher laughed. "We're so sophisticated, we think we've got everything figured out. We know about evolution, we know about Darwin, we know about all these things that says God isn't real."

"We have been inundated with skepticism and secularism," he conintued. "And overseas, they're simple, humble. You tell 'em God loves 'em and they say, 'Okay, he loves me.' You say God will do miracles and they say, 'Okay, we believe him.'"

"And that's what God's looking for. That's why they have miracles."
