Does anyone actually believe in God or are they just afraid...

Instead of presuming you have the intellect, experience or knowledge to know what einstein wanted to believe, why not presume he was open and objective? The hallmarks of his thinking?

why not take him for his word?

QUOTE]

That takes and open mind and some humility which is what every athiest lacks. It's all "settled science" don't ya' know. Opinion is now fact in the new world of science turned political activism. No real scientist would ever make such a absurd claim as to know for certain what is currently unknowable.

I think a scientist in another universe created a mini big bang in the lab, like what our scientists have begun to do, and this universe is that guy's mini big bang. So he's our God, but since the big bang he created lasts only in instant in his time, he's unable to answer our prayers or be any use whatsoever. :D
 
That is like getting a 1491 quote from Columbus in which he said yeah... its possible we could just fall of the world.

that is funny and a bit diseased. You such a fraud that you would do anything to support your extreme atheism. how low will you go you troll.
you are now bringing up pre confirmation and pre discovery quotes of the cosmological constant to support you stupid lie?

Lol. Steven Weinberg pre discovery pre cosmological constant. :D:D omg!
That's too absurd even for you. Making up nonsense like that just because your absurd religious beliefs drive you to it, is what's extreme.
 
why not take him for his word?

ok, well these are his words, clear enough...

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
Albert Einstein
 
sure... why not... that looks similar and not inconsistent with the other quote from just before he died.

could you try to be a more dishonest fraud? really?
you were just caught misrepresenting science again.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant

Observations announced in 1998 of distance–redshift relation for Type Ia supernovae[6][7] indicated that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. When combined with measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation these implied a value of \Omega_{\Lambda} \simeq 0.7,[8] a result which has been supported and refined by more recent measurements. There are other possible causes of an accelerating universe, such as quintessence, but the cosmological constant is in most respects the simplest solution. Thus, the current standard model of cosmology, the Lambda-CDM model, includes the cosmological constant, which is measured to be on the order of 10−52 m−2, in metric units. Multiplied by other constants that appear in the equations, it is often expressed as 10−35 s−2, 10−47 GeV4, 10−29 g/cm3.[9] In terms of Planck units, and as a natural dimensionless value, the cosmological constant, λ, is on the order of 10−122.[10]

As was only recently seen, by works of 't Hooft, Susskind[11] and others, a positive cosmological constant has surprising consequences, such as a finite maximum entropy of the observable universe (see the holographic principle).

That is not far off from what I speculate.

I am intrigued by the quantum mind and the universe is a hologram ideas. I would not be surprised if we are thought into existence. To me that might also explain the difference between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Its not really official til the Observer says it is or delegates the authority to us ... then quantum mechanics back dates the observations into consistency. (which is I suspect (in part) is what Hawking was getting at with his top down cosmology theory).

I would not call your guy God without knowing more, but if you are correct he could be our Creator.

So he's our God, but since the big bang he created lasts only in instant in his time, he's unable to answer our prayers or be any use whatsoever. :D
 
That takes and open mind and some humility which is what every athiest lacks. It's all "settled science" don't ya' know. Opinion is now fact in the new world of science turned political activism. No real scientist would ever make such a absurd claim as to know for certain what is currently unknowable.
+1
 
+1 for the Captain as well. (as for some of the atheist on this board ) since many who are now called atheist are really agnostic, I have no problem with the agnostic position

-2 ... at least
Not clear where your open mind or humility is to say every atheist lacks both those things. Generalizing that way can hardly be called open minded.
Ironically , if anyone wants to say its all settled it's the theist. Godidit is their answer to everything. Talk about closed mindedness.

Move away from that mirror when you're trying to type, it's confusing you.

Lambda (cosmological constant) is still being implied not confirmed in the current standard model of cosmology just as it was in Einstein's and Weinberg's time .
One of your own interminable pastes above says implied - not confirmed, fixed or "settled science". Do you ever read them?
