Biblical Christian Worldview
Media Missionaries where Christianity and Culture collide. Providing honest reporting and analysis on the intersection of contemporary issues and theology, based on a Biblical Christian Worldview. We report regularly on a broad range of contemporary topics in the areas of ethics, false theology, family, technology, megatrends, politics, freedoms, law, church, and eschatology. Our podcast and website (BCWorldview.org) are intended to strengthen the systematic theology of Biblical Christian underpinnings. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Biblical Christian Worldview
Kids Naturally Believe in God - Atheism must be taught
Some years ago there was a seminal article written on a relatively obscure blog site that offered a list of mostly secular cognitive studies on the subject of whether the existence of God was based on nature (existed at birth) or nurture (exposure during life) and further if children were naturally religious or being indoctrinated by those in authority. The conclusion was that a belief in Creation and a Creator was either inherited, or at least not due to any coercion by outsiders (parents, preachers, etc.). If correct, kids are born with a predisposition toward the supernatural, and therefore atheism, or a view that there is no God, must be a learned viewpoint from outside influencers.
Christians have a belief that God placed a vacuum or emptiness in the heart of man that can only be adequately filled by a relationship with Him. We believe that mankind tries to fill that void with toys (cars, boats, etc.) but they provide only happiness, not joy. So, a series of research studies that suggest children might have an innate belief in a supreme Creator is intriguing in its application to that viewpoint.
Psalms 63:1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
