5.4 An ontogenetic residue of the evolution of a capacity for religion can be found. This does not show that it evolved precisely in the way that the evogod model proposes; however does show that biological evolution lies behind religious thinking. Religious thinking begins in early childhood. Children naturally begin to acquire language during the second year after birth. Some psychologists believe that the ability to conceive of supernatural entities, such as the Christian God, appear even before the abilities to understand observable realities (Barrett and Richert 2003). God is simple compared to the real world, and a child finds the idea of God easier to understand. Children are intuitive theists (Kleemen 1999). The evidence points toward an inherited biological propensity to think in religious terms (Bulbulia 2004a).
