If the suggestions of these experiments were 100% true...
 

...would you be more inclined to believe in god, or the opposite?

To summarise;
A French scientist carried out a series of experiments where he led 1000's of newborn to chicks to believe a small robot was their mother. (Upon hatching, chicks take the first thing moving and making noise as its mother). The robots movements were determined by an RNG.

The robot was placed in a square pen. At one corner of the pen the chicks were placed one at a time behind a glass screen. The robot (mother) was let move, as per its RNG. The recorded movements of the robot showed an inclination to move towards the corner with the chick more than should be expected, ie, its movements appeared to be non-random. All this suggesting that the intervention of the chick had an effect on the true randomness of the robots movements.

Maybe more inclined to believe in telekinesis.

i would like to see the nubers and the inter workings of the rng.

Non sequitur?

No, it would make me tend to believe that there was a flaw in the experiment.

What does this have to do with religion at all?

This seems more like a paranormal question than a religious question. i.e. Can the functions of a living animal's mind affect the outcome of what should not be in its realm of control?

This leads me to believe that French scientists have way too much time on their hands.

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research did a better job of this. The example is clearer too.
They had volunteers concentrate on influencing various random processes, and they supposedly had statistically significant results over a large number of trials.

If the results were true (which they're not) it would make me more likely to believe in telekinesis, not God. I don't see how telekinesis would make God more or less likely.

This is clearly the same random number generator which many online poker sites use.
