Are children born knowing their Creator?

Interesting link to an article in Hamza Tzortzis’ book, “The Divine Reality: God, Islam and The Mirage of Atheism.

Here’s part of the abstract with the article titled:

Are Children ‘‘Intuitive Theists’’?

“Rather than being ‘‘artificialists’’ in Piagetian terms, are children ‘‘intuitive theists’’—disposed to view natural phenomena as resulting from nonhuman design? A review of research on children’s concepts of agency, imaginary companions, and understanding of artifacts suggests that by the time children are around 5 years of age, this description of them may have explanatory value and practical relevance.”

What they are describing is the uncorrupted Fitra of the child.

The natural disposition to believe in a Creator.

Something that is being corrupted more and more by the liberal world order at large, and indirectly and unknowingly, by parents.

The article is beyond my level of understanding 😆, but here's the link for you smarter people.
