?________________
It was locked for two reasons. It was a religious post and we don't allow religious posts and it was personal opinion that was obviously wrong. Einstein's real opinions are a fact and they are in the official Einstein Archives.

That thread was bound to degenerate quickly.

Also, please feel free to PM any moderator if you have a question about a thread or post. We welcome questions and are happy to discuss them.

I think the question has been answered, so, thread locked.
