Einstein could think.

Einstein:
"..there are times when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such times, one imagines standing on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal: the unimaginable. Life and death flow into one and there is neither evolution nor destiny, only being."

Calm down, PeterFinn. He didn't say "there is no evolution."

"Calm down, PeterFinn. He didn't say "there is no evolution.""

Why stop there? He also said:

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one."

Einstein:

identification
childlike
cold ...unimaginable


There are your clues to the workings of the human psyche at a certain stage, Connie. Some develop past it, some don't.



Obviously, Einstein did, to this point:

Life and death flow into one and there is neither evolution nor destiny, only being.

There is your conclusion.

"He didn't say "there is no evolution." "

And I didn't say he said that. By logical extension, you are denouncing me for saying something I didn't say.
