Subject: RE: BS: Onward Christian Soldiers
Guest says I am wrong, however there have been studies done that indicate that even in cultures not amenable to divine creation and design that children still recognise it. Dawkins even acknowledged it, and in a classic piece of wordplay doublespeak said.       " I am thoroughly happy with believing that children are predisposed to believe in invisible gods-I always was. But I also find the indoctrination hypothesis plausible. The two influences could, and I suspect do , reinforce one another ".            To their credit, new scientist 7feb09 ask. "If children have an innate belief in god, however,where does that leave the indoctrination hypothesis ?"               I don't think I am far off the mark in believing that many of the professed atheists here are far from confident in their claims, and are more in opposition to God than lacking evidence for him. Their aggressive words tend to reinforce that conclusion.
