Then where did the idea of God come from in the first place?


I answered that in the following post. It has been spawned by the ignorance of humans when the brain is constructed to work with a cause and effect structure of learning.

Yet you believe no one would believe in god if left on their own and no one was told of god.

That's uh, quite contradictory to say the least.

To be fair, his claim is that today the natural inclination would be to not assume a supernatural explanation, whereas an individual in a more primitive society would be much more inclined to create some higher being(s) in his mind to explain the many, many phenomena so far beyond his understanding. 

(Not that all people of modern societies necessarily actually truly understand that much, but the worldly explanations are available.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
