In this book, Justin Barrett, drawing on his expertise in the science of religious cognition, compiles the most notable experimental scientific research conducted over the past twenty years on children aged 9 months to a few years. He presents astonishing results that confirm that all children are born with the cognitive tools that enable them to believe in a creator distinct from humans with great power, and how analyzing children's thinking reveals their way of inferring the existence of a creator from the simplest mental axioms, such as the relationship of causality in things.
