The conclusion that God exists doesn’t require faith. Atheism requires faith. It takes faith to believe in everything coming from nothing. It takes only reason to believe in everything coming from God.

If a child was raised on a deserted island with no exposure to religion- if she didn't believe in a god- how would that be 'faith'?
When I see water flowing in a river- it is not faith for me to acknowledge the river- even though I don't know where the river started.
As an atheist it doesn't take 'faith' for me to not believe in a god. No more than it takes 'faith' to not collect stamps.
But I do think it is a shame you have no faith in your god.
Why would the child have to be a female?
Why not?
Sounds sexist to me. Why a desert island? Why not Chicago's inner city?
