Insight into Einstein's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1
Intersting information. Does this change your feelings from one of the greatest minds of modern thought? I find it fascinating at his definite use of language. I would like to hear how he came to his conclusions and whether he used scientific reasoning for this. The main purpose is just to hear the reaction from my fellow Orgah's and their opinions supporting or disagreeing with Mr. Einstein.

Read it earlier today. He's right about religion IMO.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Whilst you were silently lobbying for your Senior Membership, we had about 256 threads (Originally Posted by Devastatin Dave
) about this subject. Before I throw up, let me quickly say that Einstein was wrong on the Bible; you don't have to believe in the sky-God to appreciate the book as a source of wisdom.

It's spelled out Einstein; E - I - N - S - T - E - I - N. Thank you.

Has anyone ever seen "gentlemans agreement" ?
The proffesor in that film always stuck me as a charicature of Einstein
Re: Insight in into Einstien's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
I essentially agree with his view on religion, but my prejudice aside, as he made his name in quite a different field, other than that he was clearly an intelligent man I don't think that his views carry any special weight.
I know a reasonable amount about the law, but I don't think it means anyone should pay any more attention to my opinions on general relativity.

Faith, by definition, is a choice. You choose to believe your parents loved you or you don't. There's no objective proof of it, nor is there proof of the existence, or the lack thereof of a supreme being, call Him/Her what you will.
I agree with EA though, that Einstein's preeminent status as a physicist shouldn't necessarily convey 'extra credence' to his views. Physics is the study of the knowable, and theology & dogma are concerned with the unknowable.
'grats on the Senior Membership, Dave. IA, I'm flabbergasted at the oversight. You should have been way ahead of me in line. I'd argue everyone that everyone that has posted in this thread already should be in the club.

Re: Insight in into Einstien's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
I believe that the point of the article is that Einsteins more ambivalent statements have often been used in support of religion.

Don't be silly Don , I posted in this thread already .I'd argue everyone that everyone that has posted in this thread already should be in the club.

Gives Don a great bigYou choose to believe your parents loved you or you don't.
Sorry mate, knowing your parents love you is not an act of faith.
No ta. I'm happy as I am. Unique.IA, I'm flabbergasted at the oversight. You should have been way ahead of me in line.

Re: Insight in into Einstien's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
I apologise for my causing your nausia. I did not realise that the subject of Einstein's beliefs had been discussed in 256 threads. Strangly enough, I could not find 256, but, much like the belief in a Creator, one must have faith in their fellow man, so I'll take your word for it.Whilst you were silently lobbying for your Senior Membership, we had about 256 threads (

Re: Insight in into Einstien's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
That's because you're no Einstein. And you're no journalist either or you wouldn't take my word for it.

Re: Insight in into Einstien's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
Congratulations DevDave.
An honor long overdue. Seeing a colorful character such as yourself granted Senior honors gives me a touch of hope that a mad man such as myself might one day also earn a golden goblet full of the worlds most delicious beer in the sacred restriced "senior members only" area. But I won't hold my breath.
Congrats bro!

Re: Insight in into Einstein's beliefs in God and the Jewish people
Congrats, DevDave
As for Einstein's beliefs, it doesn't seem like he considered it to be important himself, otherwise he'd been more upfront about it.

Just goes to show I should wear my gigs more these days. Congrats on senior member Dave, there's hope for foul-mouthed-me yet!Whilst you were silently lobbying for your Senior Membership
