"Look around . Faith did not spontaneously generate out of thin air . It is obviously part of our psyche . Every civilization throughout history has felt the need for some type of faith . Even on different sides of the planet . It 's as natural as the sun rising ."
"But what about the hypothetical ? I ca n't think of a single child on this planet that has never been exposed to the ideas of the supernatural . So , what I was asking is whether faith is nature or nurture . That 's why I brought up kids being afraid of the dark , likely no matter what anyone tells them . I think it 's this fear of the unknown linked to the `` logical `` brain of a human that possibly creates this need for explanations . But faith involves specifics , so when the specifics are filled in and `` make sense `` to more than one person , these specific `` explanations `` can be passed down . So I do n't know how much of faith is nature and how much is nurture ."
