This discussion focuses on the primordial nature of mankind. The instinctual drive of man to know God, to worship Him and the natural inclinations towards some religious concepts seen universally all over the world. Also known as the Fitrah in Islamic terms. Gerry presents a convincing case for this primordial nature (Fitrah) found in humans, quoting various examples of indigenous tribes and also overturning popular accusations made by some anthropologists.
Alongside i present some interesting research conclusions from academia that support Gerry’s assertions. The discussion also covers some intriguing topics like ‘God as the default belief’ & ‘The unnaturalness of atheism’ which are pertinent to Theist Vs Atheist debates.
