Who gives a flying fandango **** what Einstein thought about god?

The fact is that god, much like the ether that you love so much,
has zero value to any computations. They can both be treated EXACTLY
as if they do not exist at all.

That's a hint-and-a-half for your ass.
...


The only fact here is that your theory of spontaneous generation fails
in the most minor of analysis


What "theory of spontaneous generation" is that? I assume
you're not referring to the notion of the instantaneous
appearance of multicellular life directly from non-living
matter, since that was debunked by science (Pasteur) over a
century ago.

... hence, the reason for Einsteins logic.


Einstein was referring to the beginning of the universe
(what we call the Big Bang), not the start of life.

Your religious beliefs involving the particular leap of faith you take
has been noted, already ...


What "leap of faith" is that? Acceptance of evidence and the
laws of science?

Have you come up with something new?


Have you?


I think when Einstein proposes the requirement of the gravitational
ether as being necessary to his theory of relativity and the very
propagation/transmission of light, to be science and obeying the laws of
the universe ... I find you simply doing obfuscation. And, attempting
to off on tangents ... and in circles.

EM radiation doesn't require a propagation medium.
What's the all-inclusive population or average photon density per

I agree everyone should read his words. Here they are.

In 1927

"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the
actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of
his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic
causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science.
My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior
spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and
transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the
highest importance-but for us, not for God. "


In 1945
"From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been
an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a
personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not
share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is
mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious
indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility
corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature
and of our being."

In 1954
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a
lie which is being systematically repeated. 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. "

Shortly before he died
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of
human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive
legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

Your constant attempts to work the edges, to peel up the logic and
reason is dishonest.

Einstein simply, in looking at the structure(s), laws and principals
which he sees, and is overwhelmed at the mind and intelligence it would
take to create such, and that such is the only reason conceivable for
its' existence ... I know of no comments or text of his which ventures
to understand "the creation of the creator", or claim he has a theory on
where the creators mind comes from, of from what it is formed.

He is simply forced into accepting things as they are, appear, and what
proofs exist in these observations ... and why he was brought to allow
for intelligent design.

The religion of atheism, and a specific definition of "atheism"
encompasses the denial of a creator, an intelligence which designed and
constructed all which we see, keeps those who have found a religious
belief in atheism of allowing for anything, other than accident, chance,
luck and spontaneous generation ... obviously, Einstein refused to make
the leap of faith into that/those principle(s.)

To make any progress in any direction, one must first see the reality
and truths of what lie before their senses, to refuse simply because
"you can't believe what your eyes and senses tell you, is a religious
belief in and of itself!

a prismatic effect on the wall from sunlight coming in my office

She graduated cum laude from Saint Anslem's, and 2 years ago from

Secrets indeed.

LOL...My youngest daughter recently announced to me that she was

Buddha had superpowers. She said that he did. That was case closed

Yes, here you come with your religious obfuscations, beliefs, denials,
acceptances, etc., again!

I don't remember anyone mentioning such things as Jesus, church, mormon,
catholic, jehovah witnesses, protestants, miracles, doctorine, the great
flood, angels, jews, etc.

In our discussion, God = Creator = Intelligent Design = structure =
logic = etc.

For some reason, your hatred or wish to attack religion makes it central
to your life and beliefs, and you attempt to inject it into any
discussion that exists here and have us participate with you ...

You start off on tangents of primitive legends and childish persuasions,
and wish to start discussing biblical beliefs!

Since you have injected these things and claim to have a knowledge of
them and that your ideas on them have bearing on what we discuss, you
develop them, you explain how, you develop text around them ...

To me, your moronic blathering is nothing more than an insane background
noise which is annoying ... if others wish to engage you in this, have

have no interest ... you do, or you wouldn't not maintain such central

Yes, here you come with your religious obfuscations, beliefs, denials,
acceptances, etc., again!


I made no personal statement of belief at all.

I don't remember anyone mentioning such things as Jesus, church,
mormon, catholic, jehovah witnesses, protestants, miracles,
doctorine, the great flood, angels, jews, etc.


On that we can agree, I have not posted on such issues.

In our discussion, God = Creator = Intelligent Design = structure =
logic = etc.


That would be your belief system I take it.

For some reason, your hatred or wish to attack religion makes it
central to your life and beliefs, and you attempt to inject it into
any discussion that exists here and have us participate with you ...


I made no such attack, YOU raised the issue of the beliefs of
Albert Einstein, I merely reported them.

You start off on tangents of primitive legends and childish
persuasions, and wish to start discussing biblical beliefs!


I did no such thing and frankly have no interest in discussing
biblical issues.

Since you have injected these things and claim to have a knowledge of
them and that your ideas on them have bearing on what we discuss, you
develop them, you explain how, you develop text around them ...


You are projecting I fear.

To me, your moronic blathering is nothing more than an insane
background noise which is annoying ... if others wish to engage you
in this, have at it ... I have no time for whatever you think you are
doing. I simply have no interest ... you do, or you wouldn't not
maintain such central focus to it ...


Me thinks you do protest too much.

Of course he never said that...You did.
So who created YOUR creator?


He is simply forced into accepting things as they are, appear, and what
proofs exist in these observations ... and why he was brought to allow

The religion of atheism, and a specific definition of "atheism"
encompasses the denial of a creator, an intelligence which designed and
constructed all which we see, keeps those who have found a religious
belief in atheism of allowing for anything, other than accident, chance,
luck and spontaneous generation


I'd say, accident, chance, luck and time...Lots and lots of time.


... obviously, Einstein refused to make
the leap of faith into that/those principle(s.)


To make any progress in any direction, one must first see the reality

"you can't believe what your eyes and senses tell you, is a religious
belief in and of itself!


I look around with eyes open and I see absolutely zero evidence for

If you are speaking of the earth losing mass, how could it possibly do so?

All I am aware of is the earth gaining mass though cosmic dust,
asteroids, meteoroids, comets, etc. which end up falling prey to our
gravity which constantly "collects" more mass! And, the more mass it
collects, the faster it is able to collect more (greater gravity.)

I am aware of no mass being able to escape the gravitational well of
earth, other than our spacecraft ...

But, as to Einstein, we have watched quacks hunt and attempt to

he never intended ... usually with attempts to move discussions into
religious areas and begin debate on such books as the bible ... most

Nice attempt to waffle (plus interesting snippage of the

actual deity, or not? And do you agree that his use of the
term "ether" (which was the context you snipped) referred to
something other than the sort of physical "ether" refuted by
Michaelson and Morley, or not?


Diety? Same circle? Again? Isn't "deity" the equivalent of "God?"

You are a compete loon whose absorption with religion has driven you nuts!

Einstein acknowledges a creator, I don't see much difference between the
powers of a creator and the powers of a God (or, deity, for that
matter), as far as the difference in powers/abilities go, I have no
interest. It just has NO bearing on the discussion of hard physics.

Now, as to external beliefs in the interactions of such a creator or God
with humans, A RELIGION, I don't care of your relationship, nor, even if
you have one, real or false, or not! And, what the hell powers you
ascribe to "God", or not, matters not, to me or this discussion -- but
here your moronic text keeps circling!

You jump in here with a total focus on matters of religion (bible,
Jesus, catholic, jew, etc., etc., etc.) and attempt every trick you can
to put words into someones mouth, attempt to determine what religious
beliefs they have, etc., and even go so are as to postulate that this is
valid in what we were chatting about before you stuck your
religious-focused-arse in here!

Gee, do we see that strawman arguments are your weapon of choice? ROFLOL

In any public forum I have entered, you would be thrown out on your
religious focused arse! It is generally accepted only morons would be
so crass and full-of-themselves, and that you would BE EXPECTED to
holster your personal beliefs and rants from such ... and carry on in a
sane manner with the use of logic.

How many times must you be told that religious arguments are immaterial
here? That your belief, or not, in a personal God has NO relevance
here, nor anyone elses'!

You are the only one who is unaware of your insanity, or the delusion
that your actions are not insane, fix it!

How are you now attempting to bend what I have stated? The ether will
have the properties we find, when we are able to find them ...

The Michaelson-Morley experiment assumed that the earth rotation and
properties who NOT influence their experiment, I pointed out that there
is good reason that is false, and that their experiment may have failed
from its' very design, re-look at the SHORT text of the URL I gave you,
it is not overwhelming!

If you are a child, grow-up, if you are that petty an adult, GIVE UP!

You need to maintain focus on the proofs you have to offer, and the lack
of them, and not depend on religion and personal attacks to prove your
logic and reason ... if you have no experts, no scholars, no scientists
which hold your beliefs, and have put their works to paper, provide your
own paper!

Do something other than maintaining a focus on religion, personal

I agree everyone should read his words. Here they are.

In 1927

"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence
the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on
creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the
fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been
placed in doubt by modern science. My religiosity consists in a
humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals
itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory
understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the
highest importance-but for us, not for God. " In 1945
"From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have
always been an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my
opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may
call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the
professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of
liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in
youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the
weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious

That's a hint-and-a-half for your ass.

What "theory of spontaneous generation" is that? I assume
you're not referring to the notion of the instantaneous
appearance of multicellular life directly from non-living

century ago.

... hence, the reason for Einsteins logic.


Einstein was referring to the beginning of the universe

Your religious beliefs involving the particular leap of faith you take

What "leap of faith" is that? Acceptance of evidence and the
laws of science?

Have you come up with something new?


Have you?


I think when Einstein proposes the requirement of the gravitational
ether as being necessary to his theory of relativity and the very
propagation/transmission of light, to be science and obeying the laws of
the universe ... I find you simply doing obfuscation. And, attempting
to off on tangents ... and in circles.


Perhaps you should read his words again so you could begin
to understand that the "gravitational ether" was a
convenient way to think of the deformation of spacetime by
matter and energy, not a physical medium such as was
demonstrated to be nonexistent by Michaelson and Morley (and
others). And this is neither a tangent nor a circle; it's
the heart of the matter.

I agree everyone should read his words. Here they are.

In 1927

"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the
actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of
his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic
causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science.
My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior
spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and
transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the
highest importance-but for us, not for God. "

In 1945
"From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been
an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a
personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not
share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is
mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious
indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility
corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature
and of our being."

In 1954
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a
lie which is being systematically repeated. 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. "

Shortly before he died
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of
human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive
legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

Watch the denial tide sweep in as the kooks attempt to change the
above facts..


Nah, they'll just pretend they never saw them.


John already posted a complaint about Keith bringing up
Einstein's religious beliefs in response to John's assertion
about Einstein's religious beliefs. One wonders if some of
these bozos are dishonest or merely clueless. Of course,
they're not mutually exclusive...

I like the last quote. That's a beauty.

Smithy appears to be truly dumb.

On the subject of evolution he will tell you that it involves "spontaneous"
creation, which it doesn't; while ignoring that his Belief, Intelligent Design,
does not.

Talk about arse backwards.

There are no end of subjects he appears to be ignorant of.

I have a book or two here about that sort of stuff, yeah, I am Morbid.

Watchin Storage Wars on the A&E channel.One of the things in a locker
the guy bought was a little Bloodletting device, about 150 years ago.The
guy took it to a Musuem to get it appraised.The propietor of the Museum
told the guy George Washington had a bad throat infection and a Doctor
did some Bloodleting on George Washington and that is how he died.

Perhaps you should read his words again so you could begin

demonstrated to be nonexistent by Michaelson and Morley (and
others). And this is neither a tangent nor a circle; it's
the heart of the matter.


Einstein considers it un-ponderable, he claims to NOT understand the
properties of ether, he indicates, at this present time, we can attempt
to observe how in "interacts" with our matter to deduce its' properties.

However, without a doubt, its' ability to support the propagation of
light (and therefore RF) is a given fact ...

You simply attempt to stick your ideas, visions, opinion of what ether
is and have Einstein take the blame for it.

And, an excellent example of the tangents and circle you navigate with
your spin-doctoring ...

It is both my opinion and observation that there is some kinda of
interaction with ether and metal antennas (and other conductive
substances, elements.) It is here that RF "rings" the ether and begins
the propagation of the RF wave/particles ... the experts approach this
is a much more subtle manner than the words I choose.


I'll nominate you for a Nobel Prize in physics for 2012.

You just proved, without a doubt, that satellite TV and GPS receivers do
not work as advertised!

Bravo!

CERN has been doing some interesting investigation into the cosmic ether
and its' refractive index:

So the "aether" is anything, including the vacuum of space, that
transmits EM waves.

You could also call the phenomenon "sprountz".

Thus, the phrase "Sprountz transmits EM waves is true" could not be
falsified.

Sprountz!

To call Einstein and CERN in error, I suppose you could name it anything
which you thought might help your case, then go about straightening out
the poor dumb *******s!

ROFLOL!

Your argument is with Einstein, I have only pointed out his works ...
what you are noticing is that your personal attacks can't get traction
in attacks on him ... I thought you'd have figured that out ... damn
shame I even have to point that out to you.

Well,well,well . What about all the contraptions (thousands of them )
that are littering the space around the Solar System ? Some of these
buggers were launched 20-30 years ago . And they ALL communicate
(unless they broke down) with ground control through empty space .
Many millions of miles away . Yes sir . . .
