RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

No, I am correct. you do not understand Einstein’s definition of religion ,I suggest you try Max Jammer’s book on the subject , as i recall there is a chapter in the god delusion that deals with the subject as well

From a correspondence between Ensign Guy H. Raner and Albert Einstein in 1945 and 1949. Einstein responds to the accusation that he was converted by a Jesuit priest: "I have never talked to a Jesuit prest in my life. I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. 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 religious indoctrination received in youth." Freethought Today, November 2004

"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." From a letter Einstein wrote in English, dated 24 March 1954. It is included in Albert Einstein: The

Nope sorry he did not

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

That is a cop out most religions claim different things about their deity they can not all be right






I never said he did, you are clearly ignorant to the discourse between the two



Firstly you are assuming that I consider anyone that believes in religion an idiot , I do not , secondly you are assuming that Einstein believed in a god, he did not (before you make an idiot of your self I suggest you look up Einsteinian religion )

Islamic extremists , Christian extremists are you really in capable or recognising this sort of behaviour


Open a news paper / history book

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

Ok then there are plenty of other religions that rely on one god are you open to the fact that they may be real because you can not prove that they do not exist





And what did said priest say when the pope tried to use his work to prove the bible correct ???



So things go. I f you don't want to believe, don't. But many atheists seem angry about the topic. There is really no need to get upset about it, but if it does upset you, consider why.I will tell you why it upsets people it upsets people because a**hole who believe idiotic things try to force their beliefs on people threw various laws and bully boy tactics that include mass murder

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

Back to the question I asked you before that you failed to answer

Tell me are you open minded to the fact that Zeus exists or what about Titan , Apollo or the fairies at the end of my garden after all you can not prove that they do not exist ???

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

I don’t have it NASA has it If we forget about the evidence collected from other planets for a minute , purely on a statistically basis there should be quite a few planets out there with “earth like” life on them

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."

Yes we do

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

The fact that no one on this planet has found proof that a deity exists in the entire history of the human race combined with the scientific evidence makes the possibility of a deity existing virtually nil


Science an religion are not in the same league , religion can not compare to scientific theory






I can know for sure that the god of the bible does not exist due to the over whelming inaccuracies and contradictions in it’s pages , as I have said before I am open minded that does not mean I am prepared to except some ones word as fact with out evidence ,


Tell me are you open minded to the fact that Zeus exists or what about Titan , Apollo or the fairies at the end of my garden after all you can not prove that they do not exist



Not in the last 100 years, previous to that you had to have an allegiance to one religion or the other , among the higher academics the rate of believers drops down to as low as 5% , belief in a deity is higher as you drop down the education and IQ poll


Even if Einstein himself told me there was an elf on my shoulder, I would still ask for proof and I wouldn’t be wrong to ask. - Geoff Mather

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

FACT you have no evidence , believing in something with out evidence is called blind faith




No you do not have an open mind you mind is completely closed to the fact that there is almost a 100% certainty that there is no deity
I have always and will remain to be open-minded , why is it that people of faith call others that don’t believe in the same implausible and unsupported things as them closed minded closed minded ??


The human mind is very susceptible to hallucinations , which do you think more likely

A. a supernatural being sought you out of the billions of people on this planet

Or

B. Your mind was playing trick’s on you

RE: How did Mary become pregnant?

Blind faith is not a virtue it is wilful ignorance


Firstly you can not choose to believe something it is either believable in you mind or it is not ,

Where is your evidence for this ???

RE: Holy prophets

Dusty if you think that the bible and the Koran are a source of good morals you have either not read either book , misinterpreted them or you have a very twisted idea of what good morals are

RE: Holy prophets

What is your evidence for that statement ???

RE: Holy prophets

if you want to talk facts then you need to pick another subject whilst i am not 100% familiar with evidence of muhmmad's existence ,Jesus and Moses almost certainly did not exist

RE: Law and Grace, Old Covenant and New Covenant

Correct me if I am wrong but allegedly the laws where given to people who where out outside of Israel at the time (the ten commandments spring to mind) did they quote a scriptural basis ?? As only for applying to the Jews , one can argue that Christians are Jewish, given the Jesus was allegedly the Jewish messiah it stands to reason that his followers would be considered Jewish ,

some Jew’s believed Jesus was the messiah some did not ergo Christians are Jews that believed Jesus

RE: Law and Grace, Old Covenant and New Covenant

a lot of Christians will respond when faced with this by saying “Well he is god we can judge him by human standards” (which is exactly the standards they use when trying to show his goodness)

Or one that I have heard a fair amount (not always phrased this way but I have heard I said his way before) is “well he is god he is allowed to be a S##t if he wants”

RE: Darwin's Theory of Evolution

Actually huge portions of the bible can be traced back to the Sumerians , I am not sure about the Moses story but the bible’s account is completely factious , The story of cane and able is another one that is credited to the Sumerians (I say credited to them only because they are the earliest to record the story given that they invented writing it is conceivable that the story was around for much longer passed via word of mouth)
