"...there have been studies done that indicate that even in cultures not amenable to divine creation and design that children still recognise it."

This is a pure manifestation of weasel words. What studies, please? How were they done? What "cultures"? What is "not amenable to divine creation" supposed to mean? Which children, of what ages, what sample sizes and in what proportions?

My view is that this alleged natural predisposition to superstition (for that's what we're talking about) has yet to be demonstrated. It sounds like an excuse to me, invented by people with ulterior motives to fool us into thinking that 'tis not they who inculcate pernicious ideas into children's minds but, instead, it's some kind of natural propensity we all have for suspending disbelief. Well I want to see the evidence for that. Being scared of the dark or being nervously vigilant when moving around an area with lots of hiding places have the evolutionary advantage of protecting us. Belief in supernatural beings, including gods, ghosts, goblins, angels, fairies and leprechauns must be implanted, and I can't think of any evolutionary advantage in it. When these notions are manipulated by a certain kind of person they become instruments of control. Fully fledged, they become religious belief, the most pernicious thing of all.
