I agree with Einstein. Religion and belief in a higher power are products of mankind's weakness...

Umm...Einstein on multiple accounts has expressed belief in God as well. What does it matter?

You can believe that's a product of human weakness just as much as those who believe in the NDP are a part of the human weakness. Its all with how you see things.

Well, aren't you right on both counts?

It doesn't matter. All I'm saying is that agree with him and his statement in question.

However, do not confuse faith with belief in a higher power...But that's a whole other debate for another day...

I think Einstein is just confusing, I enjoy his view on God as a higher, yet non interfering power

Fair enough. I maintain the belief that there is no higher power, only "energy" as it is often described in Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.

And people tend to be confused by Einstein because he says things in puzzles. For example, it seems to me that while he believes in God, he acknowledges it as part of the human weakness. Kinda like how we know that BigMac's are very bad for us, but we eat them anyway...

Einstein's belief in God and the belief in God that most religions carry are two vastly different things. The superstition he is talking about is the one that God is an old man in the sky dictating his will to us through scripture, which I will agree is a totally ridiculous and childish idea.

I don't believe in god or religion, infact I completly hate religion. Everytime I see a annoying religous person preaching religion. I just want to hit them. I don't know why.

I always find it funny that those who dont beleave in God fall back on science yet science can not and has not proven evelution, that meteors started the chain of life or half of the THEROYS (SP?) that are used to bash Religion.

Evolution is a fact, it's proven to have occured. We have thousands and thousands of pieces of evidence that support it, and none that counter it.

That's the problem with religious people: they convince themselves that science is flawed and irrational so they can maintain their largely flawed and irrational ideologies.

What you have is fosils that some sicentist claim are evidence of evolution yet science has yet to show and or prove that one species gave birth to another. The "scientific method" of hypothosis, testing, evidence gathering, then conclusion drawn from the evidence has not been applied to evolution. Let alone to the start of life here on earth.

For the start of life they have tried numerous times to recreate it in the lab enviroment bassed of the theroys and each time it fails. So how can it be a scientific fact if the rules of science are not adhered to.

Now how one would go about testing evolution in the lab is a bit tricky I know and am not pushing for it to be done but for evolution to be presented as a theory not as a fact.

And sorry all for such poor spelling kind of rushed here at work.
