Why do people when facing great danger cry out for God to save them?

Update:

As a young Christian there was a car crash outside my home and loud screams from a woman crying, he's dead, he's dead, God help me & she repeated this over & over again. We went to see if we could help and a distraught woman repeatedly screamed, God help me. We went to her husband in the driving seat who appeared dead or unconscious, he was lifeless & it prompted me to pray over him - God please save him. He recovered and he and his family became Christians.

    God has given to everyone a God conscienceness. We all have a longing for something we can't put a finger on and it's God whether they believe it or not. People are afraid of so many things but they don't give a second thought to turning their backs on God the only One who can help them. What a shame!

    They know he is the only one that can save them. Even so called atheists , cry out in times of danger or troubles. The spirit of a man knows that there is a greater being than them.

    Rubbish. Only the uneducated to that. The rest of us figure out the problem.

    And your story is useless....just like the one with the air plane crash, all died but a baby..... Miracle you say? Where was the miracle for the other 264???????

    I think the words come more from social conditioning than from any great spirit desire.
