And the greatest scientist to ever walk the Earth who came up with “Principia Mathematica" spent more time on his studies and belief in Alchemy than anything else. The whole point of it being impossible to prove a negative is why it's called "faith". Any supernatural belief is fine, just don't let them get in the way of/ or wrongly influence (which is happening alarmingly often in the US) important scientific work.

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? Because It shows that atheists are dumbasses.

I’m not sure I agree with you, but if you want to believe that then fair enough.

Better than your b/s. 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. Stop putting things into my mouth I have never said. You are not the enlightened one here. More like the attention seeking troll.

Actually the quote is far more complex than that quoteinvestigator.com/2011/12/16/spirit-manifest/The part that leads up to it (for context): A closer translation of what you posted: He is not talking about a God from religion, he is talking about a manifest wholeness in the universe. To be fair that is the basis of a lot of religious belief, but not an endorsement of any major stance regarding a creator God.

To be fair that is the basis of a lot of religious belief, but not an endorsement of any major stance regarding a creator God. I never said he WAS talking about a God from religion. In fact, I'm not even talking about a God from religion. God is beyond religion and all the human limitations of five-sensory perception.
Science is the thing that's behind and has to catch up with all the natural phenomena that is imperceptible to most people. Today's scientists are behind even what ancient civilizations knew before and needs to simply rediscover lost knowledge.

Einstein! EVEN Heeeeey has heard of Einstein! DUH! (Closet Appeal to Authority fallacy is the new black from trolls) "Argument from authority An argument from authority, also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam is a form of defeasible argument in which a claimed authority's support is used as evidence for an argument's conclusion. It is well known as a fallacy, though it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context." The fact that in the whole quote as discussed later in the thread is typical of the click bait phenomenon...ie a lack of general understanding of the toic as a whole. Sad really, butt so obvious in everything that she posts.

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.
That's my take on what he said. Humans have spirit...and even A spirit. Perhaps one could say the universe, with its regularity has spirit or A spirit. Nothing to be particularly interested in...merely an academic point. Since, as we see, it has nothing to do with religion.
