the reason for this is fear. human beings are afraid of the unknown, thus believing in anything so long as it gives them hope. |

Edybleketara: Did you read this bit? If yes, what do you make of it? “CHILDREN’S NORMALLY AND NATURALLY DEVELOPING MINDS MAKE THEM PRONE TO BELIEVE IN DIVINE CREATION AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN. IN CONTRAST, EVOLUTION IS UNNATURAL FOR HUMAN MINDS; RELATIVELY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE." |

OLAADEGBU:The children you're talking about, did grow up by themselves or were they brought up by religious parents? plus did they grow up in a religious environment or in environments were nobody ever talks about God?? |

OLAADEGBU:'Dr Barrett claimed anthropologists have found that in some cultures children believe in God even when religious teachings are withheld from them'. This is what you're calling a scientific research, just someone's unfounded claim? the truth is that when it comes to religion, children are basically influenced by their parents and the environment they grow up in. the research carried out above is hogwash. |

OLAADEGBU:"The children were asked whether their mother would know the contents of a closed box. Three-year-olds believed that their mother and God would always know the contents, but by the age of four, children start to understand that their mothers were not omniscient" at three years old how did the children know that God is omniscient if they have not been told by their parents? |

There's no real evidence to suggest that religion is hardwired – it's just wishful thinking on the part of religious academics https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/nov/28/religion-children-innateness-barrett |
