Evidence Against God

[mediamogul]

I've already read both of the articles. I doubt yall have based on what yall are claiming. The question was about atheism being the default position of babies. We talking about children being PREDISPOSED to such beliefs.

From the article...
"The preponderance of scientific evidence for the past 10 years or so has shown that a lot more seems to be built into the natural development of children's minds than we once thought, including a predisposition to see the natural world as designed and purposeful and that some kind of intelligent being is behind that purpose"

Babies lack belief in a gods. A-theism means lacking belief in gods.

Does it account for the fact that most children are indoctrinated to believe in god from the moment they can speak? Also the fact that children generally have an amazingly simplistic view of the world and its workings. The difference is that people are supposed to grow up and put away childish things but most people who believe in god are not able to put away the comfort of a friendly anthropomorphized universe.

The other problem is that belief does not equal existence. Just because people believe something does not make it true.

When I was young I wanted to be a dinosaur when I grew up.
