They are doing some pretty intense extrapolation and ignoring the influence of religious indoctrination.

Right. Further, show me a group of children who independently come up with Yahweh as the explanation for creation (without their parents indoctrinating them into this belief), and then we can talk. Otherwise, I'm pretty underwhelmed.
