Atheists: If there's no God, then where did the word "God" come from?

If we put 4 babies in a place that no one talks with them, then if they reach the age
of 20 and no one yet talks with them, what the result will be ?
What kind of place are you referring to? I would need more information before being able to answer that.

Sucking is a learned reflex. This is why so many women & babies have a hard time nursing, b/c it is a LEARNED BEHAVIOR & not innate. Learning to breast feed not only is based upon previous experiences (for both mom & baby), but there is also a learning curve & maturational processes necessary for it.

Science confirms you wrong.

A house and a yard.
They would most likely die of starvation, have immense issues with depression/psychosis, have their house foreclosed on for not paying bills, die of disease/infection, etc. I'm not sure whether there would be a sliver of a chance for survival of 20 years.

That baby isn't sucking its thumb. It is positioned in a way that gives that impression, but it is actually just pressed along side the babies face. And, even if it was in the babies mouth, there is no evidence that it is sucking. So, no, this picture doesn't prove me wrong in the slightest. You'll have to do a lot better than that.

I didn't say we'll leave them alone, but no one will speak with them.

You don't even trust the scientific observations.

So, then the mother can still teach them how to suck, then. The mother doesn't teach the baby linguistically. They do so physically. So, even though these people would never be able to speak, there are many other ways to teach them things. Think of all the deaf people in the world.

If you actually read the article, the researchers did not even claim to see babies "sucking their thumbs". They merely see healthy fetuses touching different parts of their face and sometimes placing their fingers in their mouths. I admit, the title of the piece is misleading, but if you just take some time to read the article, it is clear that it is not suggesting that babies actually "suck" their thumbs.

Further, even if they did, aren't we discussing sucking/drinking milk?

Do you think it is time's working that created evolution or it is evolution that created time and space? Please
Regards
The Theory of Evolution doesn't claim anything about the creation of time and space or even the development of those things. It only deals with the development of living organisms. Contrary to many on this forum's erroneous beliefs, evolution doesn't speak to life coming from non-life either.

ev·o·lu·tion
ˌevəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/
noun
  1. the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

Coincidentia oppositorum
No need to invent words just use known fiction like Star Trek and Star Wars. Lets take Klingon(s) for example. Using the OP's flawed logic Klingons must exist. The same applies to Wookies. Take a novel series like Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time. Saidin must exist, Aes Sedai must exist. Nasty Orcs that taste horrible must exist.
Also consider that the word "God" in Klingon is joH'a, which is a word that didn't exist before Startrek fans created it.

Don't you think it is time for you to start giving substantive responses to the many replies you have gotten? Stop asking more questions, when you get answers such as viole's?
Please
