gleneagle: Well Blarneykite's the lawyer so his job will be to give us cover for what ever the hell we feel like doing to fullfill our mission and his objectives. If that makes us animals then I suppose that's a cross we will have to bear.
And thats us full circle and back to the cross again... So do you believe in god , lads??grin

happdude: I don't think Wikipedia is anti-religious, and that quote really doesn't appear to be his.


You believe all you read on wikipedia,, laugh
Einstein was jewish by birth and although he he came to the conclusion that he couldn't account for creation through scientific theories,, I have thought about it myself and for me it is impossible to believe that the universe just happened without divine intervention,
I don't try to convert people but if you have a bit of time just think about it and see what you can come up with to explain how it all happened or even more important what or who started it happening.

I had a good chuckle to myself when I was putting that line in about carrying the cross. I dont believe in God but I believe in the teachings of science such as Darwin, Einstein and Steve Hawkins who wrote an excellent book in 2010 called the "Grand Design" Its heavy going but well worth the read without too much theoretical physics on quantum theory.

It's the symbol of a fishing club that was founded 2000+ years ago by a well meaning man and twelve of his friends. The club kind of veered off course over the ensuing years (namely, they stopped fishing after the death of their founder). But they went on to become the richest fishing club in the world, thanks to a few tall tales which were spread about their founder.

I just grabbed a quote from wikipedia, you can't even verify the source of your quotes. He never said he couldn't account for the start of the universe through science. Anyway, Einstein isn't the pope of science, I believe in a rational, scientific start to the universe, and while you may not be tryingto convert me, you don't seem to respect that belief.

we cant conclusively be sure there is or isn't a creator and we never will know for sure, even if we discover how it happened that still leaves us with why it happened, in quantum physics someone comes up with an idea others like it and it becomes accepeted by all, sounds alot like religion to me
