Experimental psychologist Dr Nathalia Gjersoe, of the OU’s Faculty of Education and Language Studies (FELS), has carried out research into the developing brain to find out what might lead people to believe in God.
The research suggests there are natural instincts that allow very young children to develop a belief in a creator God, and Nathalia says this can also be found in atheists who turn back to God in times of crisis. She explains more in this Channel 4 4thought.tv broadcast on the theme of ‘Is belief in God a basic instinct?’
