it's all those ridiculous letter T's on top of the buildings they see on their way to the laboratory.

If you can’t see what I can see you’re not taking this science thing seriously.

How about these quotes?

Unfortunately, many atheists have a hard time separating 'religion' from belief that there is an intelligent Creator which has nothing to do with religion. |

As best as anybody can tell, Einstein had a Spinozan outlook on religion. He didn't believe that god created the universe. He believed that the universe is god - a god that is not a thinking intelligent being. |

What do you think he actually meant by that quote? Keep in mind:
1. English wasn't his first language (though admittingly that could have been a translation of something he said in German)
2. The word "spirit" is often used in figurative language ("He's got a fighting spirit in him!")
3. Even if he was implying some sort of "intelligent designer" (and lets face it that's what you probably think it means) that's just an argument from authority and not even a very good one considering many scientists/astrophysicists are atheists. Give it up already.

A quote that you completely misunderstood, of course.
What he meant was that he does not believe in a Biblical God, but something more mysterious. Which is called 'science'.

"Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist must be rather silly people."

Bullshit. Then why didn't he say that? Because he did. You just don't get it. You don't get it. His quote isn't that enigmatic. It's very clear what he meant. You just want to put your own liberal spin on it. |

We have established on this board that you are a mentally challenged troll who has no idea what science is. |

I've often thought about that, there's two schools of thought on that. On the one hand I do think learning more about naturalistic/scientific explanations for the universe makes one less reliant on the "God did it hypothesis", which by proxy makes people less religious (Darwin went from being a Biblical literalist to agnostic after his scientific discoveries). On the other hand people that are already atheist/non religious are probably more likely to get involved in scientific studies that those who are (think of all those Christian conservatives that like to complain about all those Godless scientists and smug university elitists). In any case there is unquestionably a correlation between science and atheism/irreligiousity.

Let’s assume for the sake of argument that Einstein actually was a believer in an ‘intelligent designer’, aka god.
What of it? Why is this a thing you would want to call attention to, Heeeyyy? In what way does it matter?

We have established on this board that you are a mentally challenged troll who has no idea what science is. No, I'm well aware of what science is. Unlike you who thinks it's the answer to every question when in fact, it is still seeking the answers. Only those with shallow, limited thinking put all their faith in it. Every new discovery, and every 'changed mind' proves it. |
