Babies are born Atheist

Thanks Con: It appears that Con loves playing the game of Let"s make everything my opponent states appear Fallacious. Which in itself is a Fallacious form of Argument, and Con sources little else other than sites on Fallacies. Con"s Case 3: is an excellent example of this form of "Argument From Fallacy, Fallacy. In that because an argument may appear fallacious or contain fallacies, but that does not necessarily make the argument false. http://www.logicallyfallacious.com... Arguments containing truth can also contain fallacies, but the argument itself can still be Valid. Rebuttals: 1: Though I do agree with " Personal revelation is not evidence or good reasoning." Children adopted as babies from extremely Islamic societies and raised by secular parents have never shown any leaning towards Islam or Allah. Here is a Christian view of the Secular world I live in: http://www.probe.org... Why actual belief in God is not Innate (existing at birth): http://online.wsj.com... Here is a more technical document on the study mentioned above. http://www.wjh.harvard.edu... 2: Con stated: (Case 1) "My opponent demonstrates through his own words he agrees that babies have a capability to belief." Yes: Though Con gets it entirely Wrong: Capability to Believe is a blank whiteboard, waiting to be filled from the outside world. Capability to believe is not an actual Belief. The Belief whiteboard is indeed Empty at Birth, thus Atheist. Animals that have cognition, but lack the necessary brain structures for belief, can also be defined as Atheists or Without God: Dogs, Frogs, etc.. http://abcnews.go.com... It appears that Superheroes have replaced God in the secular world. Less harmful than religion and they grow out of it, though not always. http://deligentia.wordpress.com... 3: Referring to Con"s misconceived False Dichotomy notion: (Case 2) Such dichotomy does not exist: Belief in any particular God or God's has never been shown in any study to be Innate, only the predisposition or capability to believe is innate. The premises for the Con's dichotomy suffer from Argument from Ignorance Fallacy, as it is without evidence. Imagine the secular parents of children adopted as babies from their extremely Islamic countries, as in my own studies when the eight year old child asserts at the breakfast table one day that his parents are infidels because they do not worship Allah. No such occurrences have ever been reported. A Capability to Believe can also likened to an Empty Bowl having a Capability to hold liquid. The liquid does not exist only the capability to hold liquid exists. Parents and Culture will fill the child"s Beliefs (bowl) with whatever is available, in a secular society it is often filled with temporary fantasies (Sweet Syrup), which later in life will be cleaned out and replaced with nourishing knowledge (Soup) , in deeply religious societies it is often force fed (indoctrinated) with religion (Sewerage). http://www.kidspot.com.au... http://www.kidsmatter.edu.au... The very first sign of a belief system in toddlers across Cultures, according to studies conducted by Jean Piaget over 50 years, is Across cultures "Animism" is the very first signs of a belief in any child. This is their first writing on their belief whiteboard, everything is like Me. 'Animism' is also a characteristic of the Pre-operational stage. This is when a person has the belief that everything that exists has some kind of consciousness. An example of this is that children often believe that a car won't start because it is tired or sick, or they punish a piece of furniture when they run into it, because it must have been naughty to hurt them. " From: http://ehlt.flinders.edu.au... Conclusion: Animism is the only belief system young babies demonstrate, no children have ever demonstrated any knowledge of any Deity in the history of studies into childhood cognition. Thus children are Atheists until taught, which is essentially what is meant by the term: "Babies Are Born Atheists." http://www.unisa.edu.au... Though "Babies Are Atheists" is not a good argument as stated in this video. http://www.youtube.com... The use of Rocks to denigrate the Argument of "Babies Are Atheists" is, a reductio ad absurdum fallacy!
