It's a good article -- give it a read.
Argument from authority. Why should Einstein's point of view be any
more convincing than your own?
Because he was a brilliant scientist, and I thought you might like to
read his views based on your viewpoint that anyone who has faith is
ignoring science. Einstein felt differently.
He felt differently, certainly, but that's what it was: feeling. He
certainly didn't come to those conclusions via the scientific method.
In that respect, his status as a scientist is irrelevant, his views
having been arrived at in the same way you arrive at yours. Hence my
question.
But the thing is, Alan, I haven't tried to convince you of anything --
I've merely told you what I believe, and you've made it clear that you
have scorn for that kind of belief. Okay, I get that. I respect your
right not to believe; I wish you would reciprocate.
That's really all.
I respect your right to believe, but that's not the same as refraining
from pointing out my view of those beliefs, when you insert yourself
in a discussion here.
