Eh, I have to say something here. Newton did reject the church, but he did not reject God. In fact, God was the reason he did science. The idea that Christianity is just blind faith is cute, but far from reality.
No number of links to wikipedia or any other references will make an idiot into a genius if they can't comprehend the basic information presented. They get a B grade for using wikipedia links as they are usable for learning things, but they lose 75 points for not learning anything.
I wish they could get over this fascination with scientists who last lived on the order of centuries ago... Aristotle and Plato were fairly smart chaps, so I guess I should believe in the Greek Pantheon?
Question; Einstien was a pantheist right? So he sees the earth and the physical laws of the universe as being the same as a god, metaphoricaly speaking?
Whenever Einstein mentioned god, he meant is as a allegory for the idea of a perfectly mechanistic universe that he supported. The best example is the famous "God does not play dice".
I got your message. Sorry I have not responded. I read that he did not believe in a God. He was not a supporter of evolution, since the process was not understood. Let me know if he was a Theist.
I never said he accepted evolution-you must have confused one set of people (mu'tazila) with him, which he almost certainly wasn't-that at least I know for sure ;)
I'm done with research: Its inconclusive, so there is no need to change the information on video.
and as I said: it doesn't matter what he was, I was just surprised at the statement.
Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you did. I studied mostly Western history, so that part of the video was a challenge for me. I just found the name of a scientist from a non Christian culture and read a few things about him.
I understand what you mean: it is a very interesting area of study (middle eastern science/scientists from 700-1500); plenty of scientists from then, some darn brilliant, but tragically understudied in the west.
its part of the reason people think Islam destroyed middle eastern science in the middle ages :(
Yeah, my friend pointed this out to me after I had already made the videos. I'll be more aware of it next time. Lol. She told me that I sound "adorable" when I say it like that.
One half of the DNA-strand of my Mommy and one half of the DNA strand of my Daddy came together and made me.
I am so relieved they got the exact some base pairs sequence along all chromosomes or this could have really screwed me up :)

But wait...this means my parents were clones of each other...
Aaaaarrrrgghhhh!

when you said "term dropping", I thought you said "turd dropping", which would also be a pretty good description.

pantheist bordering on atheist.

Khayyam was an Atheist?
I always knew he was not very religious (he held eccentric views that sounded sufi), but not as an Athiest. interesting..I'll need to see about that.
*goes rechecking his materials on Khayyam*

would you mind reading wikipedia the correct way? Not as "wikalpedia"? Your videos are great, but it is starting to bother me.
