An 'A'level physics student could put him right on a few things since. I think I'll stick with Einstein all the same. 70 years of progress that would have had no foundation without his work, so it's a meaningless postulation. It took true genius to even conceive of the laws of nature that he theorised. Nobody since comes close. https://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-01/are-scientific-geniuses-extinct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Remember what they put on the side of a bus a few years ago - there's probably no god so stop worrying and enjoy your life. My view of it was that it should have said - Don't worry your conception of god is so unlikely to be useful that you might as well just enjoy your life. ... and then had a photo a bit like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it part of his preaching that god forgave him for being a complete twat towards his fellow countrymen. He deserves all the bad press that can be thrown at him.

GordonParker965 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think everyone decides whether to believe in God's power or not. I'm more interested in why people go to church... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested in why people go to church... I'm not really a religious person, but I guess it's a nice place to catch up with people on the same wavelength, network and have a chat. Like any sort of community, humans are tribal in nature and religions of all types fit that model to be drawn towards. Can't knock it really, apart from the imaginary bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people attend church as a way to connect with their faith and to deepen their spiritual practice. Church can provide a sense of community and belonging, allowing people to connect with others who share their beliefs and values. Sounds like a straight out of ChatGPT answer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
