I love to see professors get smoked but I have to post this food for thought.

I don’t need to get FLAMED for this:

“I form the light and CREATE darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do ALL these things.”

—Isaiah 45:7

Wow. I didn't know that Albert Einstein was a Calvinist. Sounds like our arguments. :O)

[Bringbackthedraft]

I seem to recall that Einstein also said; “man will be free only when he is free of religion”. Maybe not exactly those words, but close to it. I see here a young school boy, not an old Mathematician/Scientist, he obvious changed his mind later on, after years of research??

[autumnraine]

Wow.

Did he really say that?

So, the quick answer to the question is that Einstein did not believe in a personal God. It is however, interesting how he arrived at that conclusion.

Einstein became a deist - a believer in an impersonal creator God:

“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.”

Without going through the litany of scientific findings with great explaination - Einstein, Wilson & Pezias, Eddington confirming the findings of Einstein, the 2nd thermal law, COBE and WMAP - all confirm a beginning of the universe. We arrive at First Cause. Here we meet up with a First Cause which according to science is timeless, self-existent, nonspatial, and immaterial (without limit), unimaginably powerful to design and bring the universe into existence ex nihlo, who is supremely intelligent to design with such precision, and apparently personal in order to choose to convert a state of nothingness into the time-space-matter-energy continuum called the universe.

So there seems to be two possibilities - Everything came from something -OR - Everything came from nothing.

If there is no God, then why believe anything at all?

It might seem odd that the very characteristics which science defines as First Cause are the same as what theists have been describing as years as God but that is how it is.

What an entertaining video! I believe St. Augustine defined “Evil” as ‘privatio boni’, i.e. absence/privation of Good. According to scholastic philosophy a ‘privatio’ can be predicated only of something which by nature exists. For example ‘blindness’ may be predicated of a man because it is in man’s nature to see. Since a stone cannot see, it’s lack of sight is not a ‘privatio’ because it is not in a stone’s nature to see. Therefore Evil may be predicated of creation in general as a ‘privatio’ because the transcendental nature of creation is Good, as well as True and One.

Darkness seems exist when the number of photons in a given area are diffused. When I was in Vietnam we used a “Starlight Scope” which amplified the available photons to give a greenish image of the terrain, and we were thus able to pick off a lot of VC and NVA who otherwise would have gotten away.

I also think there is no evil without a human (or other intelligence somewhere) mind to produce and process it. Or anyway, it can’t be demonstrated without mind.

Goodness on the other hand is the province of God who made a universe in which we live and operate in....
