If someone was born on an island alone...?

does anyone honestly think he would know anything about god or any other kind of modern god today? Say the person somehow survives and we are somehow able to communicate with him, do you think he'll know about god and all his miracles?

No, so thats why I say people are only religious because their parents are.

No you say? so if you were born into an Atheist family would you still belive in god? No

    Well, first of all....there would never be anyone "born alone" because there has to be someone to give birth to them. If the mother survived, I'm sure she would tell her baby what she knows and believes.

    If the mother didn't survive and out of some strange occurrence the baby survives, he wouldn't have any explanation for how things happened, he wouldn't know any scientific facts, so he would probably come to the conclusion (as our ancestors have) that there must be 'something else out there' to explain the occurences on the island. The ocean, weather, sea life.......

    I believe that we will be judged by how much knowledge we have available. I believe that we are very hardwired toward God. I believe that the people who do not know anything about God, God would save.

    My parents are not religious. I made my own choice.

    I believe that it is harder to be a believer if your parents are Atheist because parents do not bless children. But also many Christians do not do what God wnats them to do.

    I think that the free will is very poverful gift. We are responsible for our decisions when we are not children anymore, and until then we belong to God.

    Good question, my bet is, any functioning human brain will invent or adopt a philosophy, even in a vacuum. Unless you are supposing that some very busy person travelled the globe and introduced a belief in a God or gods or creation myth to all primitive cultures? I find it interesting that people who don't believe in God believe in the devil. And I always have felt that it would take all fun and meaning out of swearing, if you didn't believe in God or hell?

    What are all those statues on the shores of the Hawaiian and Tahitian islands all about.

    How many ancient cultures in the history of the world had NO RELIGION what so ever. No spirits. No Gods. No dieties.

    An overwhelm majority of the world develope religions separately from one another.

    When you stick the word IF in front of the sentence. it's only a hypothetical reasoning.

    Parents don't draw ones to God...God does. Each has to work out their own salvation when of age.

    Your question is like this one...

    IF you took a shovel and you dug a hole through the earth...will you come out the other side feet first or head first? See how silly the question is?

    Your reasoning sucks.

    born on an island alone you say? who bore him/her?

    He would have to know about God because he would be a miracle with no parent and feeding himself, taking care of himself, not dying and learning speech, to walk, etc.

    Really I am not a Christian just because my parents are Christian, I have my own mind. I thank God they brought me up that way now quite a few years later. It probably saved me a lot of heartache.

    Everyone will hear the good news before Christ comes back, its up to you to choose not to listen.

    Heres your opportunity to never say no one told you . . . .. . . you are a sinner and the only way to reach heaven and God is thru his son Jesus Christ. Pray, repent of your sins. . . . . God loves you and had his son die for you. He wants to save your soul and just love you. Love him for he created you, pray and worship him because he deserves it. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Accept Jesus in your heart, with your whole heart, ask for his will be done in your life and your whole life will change.

    Change me oh God! Ask all of this in Jesus name. Amen.

    There are several examples of Missionaries coming upon a tribe of people who worship the creator God but don't know His name. They begin sharing the Word and Jesus Christ with them, and they immediately recognize that He is the One they worship!

    Christians are made by birth. They are made by re-birth by the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ (i.e. being born again). I know many Christians who had unbelieving parents and many parents with unbelieving children.

    If I was born alone on an island I'd be thanking God every minute of the day.
