If you were abandoned at birth in a jungle and managed to survive do you think that you would discover god?

Answer 1

lets try it to your baby.

Answer 2

Yes if I was abandoned at birth in a jungle God is the only way a person could survive. That's why no one survives there is no God.

Answer 3

The experience of Helen Keller suggests that maybe we would and is good evidence that we are born with some degree of "knowing there is a God" pre-programmed into our genes by our creator.

Deaf, Dumb and Blind from when she was a baby, Helen Keller lived a life of isolation, unable to speak because she did not know what words or language were, unable to hear, unable to see, no knowledge of the world outside her own mind.

She was eventually taught to communicate by a dedicated teacher in a process that has inspired people ever since.

When Helen was finally brought out of that dark, silent world she was trapped in and she learned how to communicate, Helen revealed that she had always known about God, even before she had any words.

Even before she could call God anything, she knew God was there.

She didn't know what it was. God had no name for her -- nothing had a name for her. She had no concept of a name.

But in her darkness and isolation, she knew she was not alone. Someone was in there with her.

She could feel God's love and his presence.

And when Helen received the gift of language and heard about God for the first time , she said that was old news because she already knew.

God came to this lonely child, a frustrated and lonely little girl, and spoke his love to her without a word.

And yet some of us who have hearing and sight and can fully experience the wonders of his creation, deny that he exists!

We who have words and language and can read for ourselves the amazing prophecies in the Bible which have come true, the accurate histories that archaeology have verified and the eye-witness testimonies about Jesus from the people who knew him and walked with him and died rather than withdraw their testimonies - call it all myths and fables and deny what is in our hearts.

Go figure!

Answer 4

I will answer your question in a minute, but take a look at the time before Abraham: God spoke directly to the people that the Messiah would come, and those who believed were saved.

Now today, if that happened I'm sure that God would find me. I believe that God chose me to be a part of his people as he does many others into the kingdom of heaven.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe that I would have at least found out about Him. The Bible says that God desires all to be saved and so therefore in order for someone to get saved they would have to hear the message of the Gospel and therefore would "discover" God.

Whether they accept Him or not is their choice...

Answer 6

No, there are tribes existing in the jungle this very day that have never heard of the word God. They do have spiritual beliefs, but nothing relating to modern day religion.

Answer 7

Humans have a very creative imagination and a big curiosity, so it is at least a 50/50 chance that who ever was left alone would develop their own versions of gods.

Answer 8

In a way I did.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
