No. the Bible does not indicate where a majority of people will go, but it does say that those who are saved will be a small number. The Bible uses the word "remnant" which means that it is a small portion that remains.
(Rom 9:27) Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
(Rev 12:17) And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I believe that a majority of those who ever lived on this earth will burn in the fires of hell.

I don't know of anything in the Bible that says anything about how many people are going either way. There is a verse that says that God desires for everyone to be saved - I'm not sure where, but it's in the New Testement. There are also many verses that say that God offers the gift of salvation to everyone. It's up to us to choose whether or not to accept that gift.
Revelation 3:20 says "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
It's Christ speaking in that verse. That's the one that comes to mind, but there are many verses that refer to His offering salvation to everyone.

Many will take the wide road, few will take the narrow. So, it is expected that more go to Hell than Heaven, but all have the opportunity to choose.

I believe that all Christians go to heaven...the question is whether or not a person is truly a Christian. It is the whole "Salvation comes through faith alone" thing.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Narrow is the path that leads to Salvation, and Broad is the Path that leads to destruction (or damnation).
Paraphrasing Jesus (above) from the NT.
Cordially,
John

This is something that we can't know. Only God knows. I do know that God says that He is not willing for any one to perish because He loves us so much. Hell was prepaired for Satan and his angels not for us. If someone goes to Hell it is because they have chosen to. Acceptance of Jesus and following Him is the only way to Heaven and this is a choice too.
