Alvin Plantinga, and WL Craig in his wake, assert that just as we, people, have a properly basic belief that the world exists and other people have minds, people have a 'properly basic' belief that the Christian god exists! (Other Christians disagree with that) But, 1/ Why don't atheists have this 'properly basic' belief? 2/Why don't people from tribes in the deepest jungle, who have never heard of the Christian god, have this 'properly basic' belief? Why didn't Alvin Plantinga, WL Craig and John Lennox have this 'properly basic' belief in their youth, but did have the properly basic belief that the world exists and other people have minds? Or did they?

In the following video, somewhere b/n 3 - 7 min. Craig answers a question about tribes people who never had a revelation, never believed in the Cristian god, so they will all go to hell. Craig answers that before god made the universe (lol) god knew that exactly this race of people will be apparently so sinful that they wouldn't believe in god, so he never bothered to reveal himself to them... why bother? Just let them go to hell!:
