Infants 'have natural belief in God'
Barney Zwartz
July 26, 2008
INFANTS are hard-wired to believe in God, and atheism has to be learned,
according to an Oxford University psychologist.
Dr Olivera Petrovich told a University of Western Sydney conference on
the psychology of religion that even preschool children constructed
theological concepts as part of their understanding of the physical world.
Pyschologists have debated whether belief in God or atheism was the
natural human state. According to Dr Petrovich, an expert in psychology
of religion, belief in God is not taught but develops naturally.
She told The Age yesterday that belief in God emerged as a result of
other psychological development connected with understanding causation.
It was hard-wired into the human psyche, but it was important not to
build too much into the concept of God. "It's the concept of God as
creator, primarily," she said. Dr Petrovich said her findings were based
on several studies, particularly one of Japanese children aged four to
six, and another of 400 British children aged five to seven from seven
different faiths.
"Atheism is definitely an acquired position," she said.

Children are born innocent of any religion until some

Had you been orphaned at age two and then been adopted by a

Not insecure. Parents and other adults in a teaching role with |
children,
even the shopkeeper when the child goes with the parent,
and many others, even other children, will teach the child according
to their knowledge and understandings.

Back in time there was either knowledge of the true God Almighty or |
leaders within various communities made up their own stories. Many of
the gods of the ancient Mediterranean area and elsewhere were very
frightening evil, lustful and self indulgent with some somehat more
benefitting humans.

Children of four to six years have aquired many beliefs from their |
environments and will answer as they have been taught.
For this to be a valid test the subjects would need to be no more then
six months old and then the response would be 'Goo, goo' or their
equivalents in 'Baby-talk' - which parents interpret in the expressed
needs of the child as 'I'm happy', or 'I need a nappy-change', or 'I'm
hungry' and sometimes 'I'm blackmailing you just to get the attention
I want' - or is it I am being too naturalistic in my statements?

You're not distinguishing between 'belief in God' and religion. The
original post was about development of the God concept. If you're going
to say that that depends on religious teaching, then you've got the cart
before the horse, since religion is a consequence of belief in God.
Perhaps you could name any civilization that has developed without any
belief in God to support the view that belief in God is not 'hard-wired
into the human psyche'?

ROFL. Religion is the consequence of human frailties,
insecurities,
and a penchant for magic anda belief in 'spirits'.
No doubt the first imagined spirits were evil ones, borne
out by current practices in parts of Africa to hang dried up
small animals at head height along tracks to 'ward off the
evil spirits' We never change, never will, at least some of
us won't.
| Quote: | Perhaps you could name any civilization that has developed without any

Hardly any, go back as far as you like, once we had an
ability to converse in simple language someone then
propagated a god and never went short of a free meal from
that day on.

Instinctively we group together for safety and
gratification, as we did in the Stone Age. Religions are
simply a spin off from that.

Get a life Theo! The only time I hear from you is to nitpick over
something as trivial as this which is of no consequence. And I can read
quite well, thank you. You're just grasping at straws in a pathetic
attempt to find fault. There's no 'historical continuity' here. There's
nothing in his post that I said. My name should not even be there, and
his post should not be addressed to me, viz..

I'm not looking to find fault Pete. I gave you an explanation of why
your name would be there without any of what you said. You choose to
rail at a poster who didn't do anything wrong to you. He diod not

Infants 'have natural belief in God'

INFANTS are hard-wired to believe in God, and atheism has to be
learned,

Children are born innocent of any religion until some
insecure grown up decides to inculcate them with religious dogma
That's just according to the dogma of your religion. You have no
evidence in support of your assertions. That makes you "a complete
dullard nut case" indeed!!!!
Learn to attribute correctly. I never wrote any of the above.
The attributions don't suggest you did.

Get a life Theo! The only time I hear from you is to nitpick over
something as trivial as this which is of no consequence. And I can read
quite well, thank you. You're just grasping at straws in a pathetic
attempt to find fault. There's no 'historical continuity' here. There's
nothing in his post that I said. My name should not even be there, and
his post should not be addressed to me, viz..

What did I write Theo? Oh thats right, nothing! He replied to my post
when he should have replied to Bob Young's. Get over it! |
