    Biology is pretty fascinating and genetic sequencing all but confirms evolution. Its a shame that hardly anyone understands it or cares to even try.

    We do all this work and how do the idiots use it? IS HE THE FATHER on Maury.

    I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

    "This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise."

    [quote from Einstein]
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...ience.religion

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

    I liked this bit at the end:


    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."

    Bill isn't one to let facts get in the way of diatribes.

    What exactly was his point then? Do enlighten us.

    Be specific, so we can bask in the brilliance too.

    You either think our universe is completely random or there is some order, some design to it.

    If that's the false dichotomy O'R is gonna posit, then yeah, it's pretty laughable.

    My opinion should be pretty clear on that particular point. -RG

    Einstein didn't think it was laughable.

    I think you misunderstood Einstein.

    "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."

    I think he believes there is underlying structure but we are unable to comprehend it....yet....ergo it either appears totally designed or totally random.

    It's obvious which side O'Reilly falls under. What perplexes me is his condemnation of the question... Of course the righties are all about facts and stuff ..I guess Bill didn't get the memo..

    He gave them a YouTube video? That's weak. He should handout some of those totally badass "No Spin Zone" bomber jackets. You wear one of those and people know you mean business.
