Rescheduled -Born Belivers: The Science of Children's Religeous Belief
11:00 am - 12:15 pm - Grand Salon, University Student Union
What can children reveal about the naturalness of religion? Barrett investigates the way human beings have come to develop complex belief systems about God's omniscience, the afterlife, and the immortality of deities. For believers and nonbelievers alike, Barrett offers a compelling argument for the human instinct for religion.
Justin L. Barrett is Thrive Professor of Developmental Science and Director of the Thrive Center for Human Development in Fuller's Graduate School of Psychology. An experimental psychologist, Barrett is regarded as one of the founders of the Cognitive Science of Religion field.
