Very good video, It illustrates the complex nature of faith and science and the fine line that must be walked by those who practice both.

"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views. " Albert Einstein

What naive rubbish! Einstein said no such thing. Even if what you argue was true, who made the whole shebang - suffering, the lot. That would be Yahweh, wouldn't it. Go read Epicurus, you twat!

[Tinkoneofsix]

@philosophybill1958 Only a few fragments and letters remain of Epicurus's 300 written works. Why read Epicurus when the Bible has thousands of verifiable manuscripts? Which would be more logical to read? Einstein was not the student but the context of what was said remains the same. Without good you are left with only evil. If that is your choice, so be it. You already know the truth in your heart and you can fight it all you want. Denial doesn't change the facts. God is still God.

@philosophybill1958 Epicurus insisted that nothing should be believed, except that which was tested through direct observation and logical deduction. Does one observe love, emotions, etc? Can we logically deduce these & lay a scientific framework which can be repeated over again? Will we observe the same results with each individual? Who's naive here and who's childish in resorting to name calling? Yes, God-Yahweh, made it all. He doesn't need to explain Himself. Why the anger?

Evil does not exist and hate only exists because people believe in evil. Please stop calling and thinking of things that are bad as "evil". It doesn't exist. I really wish that this thought comes through to as many people as possible. I don't want to see more unnessesary hate and suffering in the world.

agnostic or atheist? u know its not the same thing right? and Einstein did believe in God, for a fact, he just didnt thought God could have a personal relationship w/ us. but God does, and thats key u know, relationship. religion w/out God, what is it worth? the big bang btw was a huge defeat for those who didnt believe in intelligent design, at first, because it meant that the world had a beginning and didnt existed forever as some foolishly thought. so there is a creator

what a bunch of crap... einstein was an agnostic atheist, quote mining is irresponsible, dark matter does exist, atheists are far less likely to commit a crime (by a 2-1 margin), there is no evidence that "evil" actually exists in the implied religious context, and e=mc2 helps prove the big bang (as well as deep space light visible from satellite telescopes and the large hadron collider) but let's just quote mine and nevermind all that...
