Research in developmental psychology shows that children have a natural predisposition to believe in God.

• Justin Barrett, a cognitive psychologist [1], says in his book "Why Would Anyone Believe in God?" that "belief in God is almost an inevitable consequence of the kinds of minds we have." [2]
• Olivera Petrovich, doctor in psychology affiliated with the University of Oxford, discovered through studying children's beliefs in countries such as Japan and England that even in non-religious cultures, children tend to believe in a creator.[3]

Other researchers such as Deborah Kelemen and Paul Bloom have demonstrated that children, even in non-religious societies, tend to answer questions such as "Who created the world?" by evoking metaphysical causes. These responses suggest that the human mind is naturally inclined to conceive the idea of a creator.[4][5]
