Default 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.

Only Link I can find.
