=Statistics=
When William Branham wanted to use statistics to prove his point, he would often use '''80%''' and provide no backup for his comments. 
:''Now, in the meetings, there's somewhat about seventy to '''eighty percent''' that passes through the prayer line, you here, that's healed within the space of ninety days, are well.<Ref>THE.ANGEL.OF.GOD_  PHOENIX.AZ  THURSDAY_  48-0304</ref>
:''And during that time, cancer broke out, sickness in the Church. Oh, my.  '''Eighty percent''' of the people are sick now.<Ref>MOSES_  HOUSTON.TX  TUESDAY_  50-0110</ref>
:''Statistics shows by doctors, I believe, that '''eighty percent''' of the women that has children that smoke cigarettes, if they'd raise their baby like they should, to the breast, in eighteen months it dies. It kills the baby, the nicotine poison in the milk of the mother. <Ref>HERE.WE.HAVE.NO.CONTINUING.CITY_  LITTLE.ROCK.AR  50-0200</ref>
:''They made an analysis throughout Arizona, where I live, of all the schools. They gave the children, unknowingly to them, a mental test. And guess what? Including high schools and--and grammar schools, there was '''eighty percent''' of the children suffering with mental deficiency.<Ref>ONE.IN.A.MILLION_  LA.CA  V-18 N-1  SATURDAY_  65-0424</ref>
