Now that it is proven Einstein was an Atheist, will christians still lie about it?

Not only is it now a proven fact that Einstein, the SMARTEST human to ever live, was an Atheist but this also means christians cannot point to people who believe in god yet have higher IQ's as evidence that smart people believe in god!

No matter who the christian points to I can now respond "yeah well was YOUR guy the SMARTEST human to ever live like my guy Einstein was? No, I don't think so...and the smartest man to ever live says the bible is a collection of childish primitive legends."

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57528523/einst...

So christians, can you do your thing...can you spin the truth with your many lies and see if you can make Einstein a god believer?

Did SATAN conjure up this letter? LOL

Update:

He said "God could not have made in universe any other way" Einstein was of the Jewish faith Who believes in American News"

Oh come on, just say "Satan is deceiving you!!" and get it over with...

    Einstein was not an atheist, he was not Christian, he was an agnostic according to most of his quotes.

    @ Nosson

    Spinoza's God is more like a panentheistic belief. The God of Spinoza is not a theistic philosophy, it's a panentheistic philosophy. I wasn't completely correct. Einstein probably changed once in his life, but Spinoza's God is not a theistic philosophy.

    Rejecting theism does not automatically make you an atheist. Einstein was a Spinozaist. Spinoza used the ontological argument to demonstrate the existence of one unifying immaterial essence underlying all reality, which Spinoza considered as God. Einstein is even known to have stated that he believed in "Spinoza's God".

    So yeah, Einstein was neither theist nor atheist.

    Lie.

    Einstein was very clear on what he believed. He said very clearly that he believes in Spinoza’s God. That makes him a theist. He never ever said he was an atheist. He said he doesn’t believe in a PERSONAL god. That means he doesn’t believe god communicates with people. Actually this statement itself is evidence that he believes in god. Saying you don’t believe in a personal god means that you believe in a non personal god.'

    Maybe the reason why atheists ignore what Einstein actually said is because they can’t get their head around the idea of believing in a god that is not described in the Christian way. Anyway just because you don’t understand someone’s beliefs that doesn’t mean you can lie about them.

    Einstein was a theist.

    Stop lying.

    Pointing to a single example of a "guy with high IQ" belonging to this or other group is a fallacy in any case. "Smartness by association fallacy" or something.

    I mean, what was before Einstein when the smartest guy around was Newton? Did that make Christians and alchemists smarter by association?

    I believe he was jewish, but if it makes you feel better we'll just say he's an atheist. I'll just point out that CBS is not and has never been a very reliable source. There is also the probability of forging, which knowing atheists becomes an even bigger concern.

    All in all you have proven NOTHING.

    Biggest problem with atheists is that they forget that a god could do anything including throw timelines into distortion, hide from microscopes, ect. As always you have proven nothing.

    this could be an undemanding one. The technological awareness/faith divide is predicated on funamentally distinctive precepts. Religions being actually very own philosophies created by persons, they don't exist exterior their creators. like it or not, Jesus or Muhammad recanting might spell the top of Christianity or Islam - those religions can not exist without their founders (ok, it rather is slightly debatable to describe them because of the fact the 'founders' of those religions, yet undergo with me right here). it rather is the human beings who relatively understand technological awareness who say 'what does it rather is counted what Einstein (Darwin, etc.) believed?' In technological awareness of direction, it is not appropriate because of the fact it rather is the seek for empirical truths even with who got here up with them that concerns. Einstein is, actually, irrelevant to relativity - it existed until eventually now him and exists without him. As somebody as quickly as wrote in answer to a matching question ? asked approximately Darwin's meant recanting, 'If Newton had recanted, apples might nevertheless fall to the floor.' non secular human beings in simple terms can not see this. that's thrilling for all of the debate they make approximately 'extensive-unfold truths'...

    Einstein is not the smartest person to ever live.

    Simply being smart isn't evidence someone's claim is true.

  • 9 years ago

    Having a high IQ is not what makes you smart, the chooses you make in life is what makes you smart. If everybody was counting IQ than nobody would even care about crime, morality and all that jazz.

    It's interesting that if Einstein had not been Jewish, he would undoubtedly have served the Nazis and may have helped the Nazis conquer the world.
