i have never said a single word about einstein, i didn't even know about his attitude towards religion. and i wrote, from the very beginning, that this thread was not be seen as a scientific discussion, but a question of belief.
Just my curiosity, but why?
i did not have physics in mind. in fact, i asked these questions myself after reading nietzsche's "thus spoke zarathustra", that's why i wanted to turn it into a more philsosphical discussion, not a discussion about equations, scientific proof, or physics.
I think that's where it inevitably went wrong. Philosophical discussions are great, but you can't deny scientific knowledge just because you don't like it... In general that's usually why it doesn't make much sense to argue with a religious person, they will deny what we
do know and go by pure faith.
moreover, it seems to me that most people think they know everything about einstein by just quoting the famous equation. popular science... well. keep it out of this discussion, please.
I agree with Alberto here, you asked the question yourself.. as a non-religious person it's pretty much unavoidable to think about physics and general implications of such a God.
