Fundamental Arrogance in Christianity

[PETE_ROSE]

They may be evidence of something, but just what they are evidence of is the tricky part.  That's why the default is no relation.  You've simply linked them to God because there is a convention of doing so.  And that is improper.

I can think of at least 3 peer-reviewed studies that suggest belief in God is instinctive rather than conventional:

Boston Study; Oxford Study; Skin Conductivity

Of course all of these studies are silent as to whether the instinct refers to something real or only imagined, but that does not affect my argument. It is natural for humans to believe in the divine by default.

Thank you for those links NS. The lie detector test for atheists was an interesting read indeed.
