concept of god in children

[GANAMOHA]

It just occurred to me that many gifted children at least in school work and advanced thinking had a well developed view on the concept of god. I wasn't sure where to post this. Sure many children's parents may have explained god as all. As the person in the clouds who make sure we do good. But how many children as in ages 3-4 and maybe older like even 5 or 6 truly understand a concept of god. Not just saying they know who he is or such. But seeing it as the holder of all space relatively facing the same meaning as zero. Zero the "number" created as a place holder to keep track of number value so really zero is everything and nothing at the same time. When I was younger 3 entering the age of 4 I had come to the conflicting concept of god or any other type of "god" you believe in. I believe it is very rare to even come close to the understanding of something like this yet I am starting to see the thought being brought up in a larger number of children and some of them who I have seen become older and go to school are phenomenal at school and are far ahead then other students. Does anyone think that something like this whether you are atheistic, Mormon, Buddhist, Etc. do you think that it is truly rare for a child to even begin to truly truly understand something as such?

Walk into a room full of young children. Ask "Who can fly to the moon?"
They'll all put they're hand up.

Young children don't have a concept of "can't". Adults teach them that.
If they are not taught any kind of specific religious belief, they will have no problem whatsoever coming up with what their own concept of God is, because they have no understanding that they might not be able to.

I do understand your point though, and I do believe we are seeing a generation of children such as indigo and crystal children growing up who are more highly evolved souls than previous generations.

Blessings,
