At this point, it's just a fact that Tea Baggers are idiots.

Lean basic science.

they need to get their own suns and stop stealing our precious sunlight.

Einstein was also dead wrong and wasted the rest of his career after the early 20s because he couldn't accept the uncertainty principle or much else of quantum mechanics. The fact that Aristotle was a genius of enormous proportion doesn't make his views of mechanics correct either.

And Einstein's faith wasn't in any kind of creator or design: it was in the simplicity of the laws of physics. For example, Galileo's theory of relativity showed that mechanical phenomena was invariant under unaccelerated motion. Einstein believed that simple law should cover electromagnetic phenomena also; e.g., you shouldn't be able to know if the train you're riding on is moving at constant speed or stopped by being able to find two different relative speeds of light in it.

Youtube comments are the worst-reading on the internet, so no big deal there.

It seems ol' Albert held a rather dim view of organized religion in general.

I liked this bit at the end:

Quote:

---

His position on God has been widely misrepresented by people on both sides of the atheism/religion divide but he always resisted easy stereotyping on the subject.

"Like other great scientists he does not fit the boxes in which popular polemicists like to pigeonhole him," said Brooke. "It is clear for example that he had respect for the religious values enshrined within Judaic and Christian traditions ... but what he understood by religion was something far more subtle than what is usually meant by the word in popular discussion."

Despite his categorical rejection of conventional religion, Brooke said that Einstein became angry when his views were appropriated by evangelists for atheism. He was offended by their lack of humility and once wrote. "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."

You have to remember, Einstein was Jewish. Perhaps he read the original language and could understand the Torah as it was meant to be, rather than man's interpretation to suit King James. What I have studied of the Torah, and later works would have me pegged as an atheist as well.

The English version of the Bible is for false prophets to control the masses.

They'd rather pick apart the messenger than understand his intent.

There is a degree of order to the known universe.

That doesn't mean there is a "design" to it, at least not in the context you're implying.

Why does the "order" you refer to (whatever it is we are saying it is) have to come from anything?

And as far as "What does it mean?", it is not necessary that it means anything. It seems to me that if you are presuming that your perception of "order" necessarily has some external or objective meaning, you are also presuming a creator who intended it to have a meaning.

Why don't you just it doesn't mean anything then? You don't know what I presume.

I'd suggest that we all share the sunlight, but that would inevitably lead to socialism.

I don't know what you presume. However, if you are asking what the meaning of the universe is, you are presuming something exists that intended it to have a meaning. I don't know. I could be wrong. That's just the way I see it.

I'm saying, if the laws of physics are accurate and the state of matter is inextricably headed in one direction, it must have began at some point; even if that point was at the end of another such progression.

I'm not saying anything about what it means. I'm saying it is illogical, given what we understand about physics, to hold the view there is no beginning to existence.

:lmao Dude, your obsession of me is just unhealthy at this point. Could you be any more butthurt?

Btw, probably around 99.9999% of people are hypocrites. So calling me that when I already know the fact isn't exactly piercing me through the heart. But do carry on like the badass you perceive yourself to be. :lol

It's a fact, you are a huge hypocrite. Own it.
