[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't realize Einstein had anything to do with Creationism. He was a believer though, so point taken :lol: [/quote]
Here is Einstein on his belief: "It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I feel also not able to imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. My views are near those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem—the most important of all human problems."

Calling him a believer may not be totally wrong, but it is certainly misleading.  He called himself an agnostic.

Note:  This is from Wikipedia, but with a citation for the quote.

PS I don't mean to quote Einstein as an expert on religion.  I think he was expressing a personal viewpoint, not intending to tell anyone else what to believe, although it happens to describe my beliefs with more eloquence than I could muster.[/quote]
