I really do not care what you believe about relativity. There is no good reason I should. How you waste your time is your business. Even if it's true it will never do you any good. I enjoy science fiction, but only for relaxation. Before I leave this topic though I would like to highlight a comparison you might not have considered. Atheists are often annoyed that people of faith try to impose beliefs on others. Have you ever noticed that? Of course it is true there are people of "faith" who can be especially annoying that way, especially novices. I'm sorry about that. It is not how people advanced in faith generally operate though. They tend to persuade rather than coerce. You can often tell how well a person understands his arguments himself by how persuasive or coercive he is. Coercive people are usually stupid. You are obviously not prepared to persuade anyone of science. That is all well so long as you do not expect anyone to be persuaded. If you do not expect me to agree with you on science, then you're fine. If you expect me to agree with you then please notice how you are just like those fundamentalists who annoy people with their lack of "logic." Isn't that funny? How some people are like that? And they don't see how they're being the same way as people they disparage? ...except that accepting the vast compendium of human scientific knowledge ( which your modern life depends on) ...is NOT a belief in science like your 'belief' in religion. It is a matter of knowledge, logic and a clear understanding of how the world works. I am now and have from an extraordinarily young age been aware of television and aircraft. I have always realized the people in Bible times had none of those. My point is I understand it better than you. The reason you find science so impressive and important is that it is over your head. Science and math come rather easily to me. They always have. Schools have even said so, and they should know. Therefore I am less impressed with science than you are. Now do you see how Dunning Kruger works? I do not expect science to do things it obviously never will, you do. When you say there is no god because golly, gee whiz, aircraft and television, you don't realize how childish that is. The faith in science inspired by your ignorance of it has become a problem in the world. If you like science, then please use it. I really think you can. It's easy for me. It can't be all that difficult for you.
