Einstein Letter Goes on Sale

Posted by samzenpus on from the read-what-a-smart-guy-says dept.

ErkDemon writes "For any Slashdotters who want a piece of frameable Einstein memorabilia, a letter from A.E. to Eric Gutkind goes on sale at Bloomsbury Auctions today (May 15th). The content of the letter mostly deals with Einstein's views on religion. (Einstein pronounces himself rather unimpressed by the whole idea and rejects it as "childish.") The Guardian has printed a translated excerpt from the letter."

    Regarding your .sig, it's "umount", not "unmount".

    Relying on burden of proof weakens your argument. Disclaimer: I'm not GP.

    I like burden of proof because it's often the quickest way to end the discussion -- because theists do not (and cannot) have proof. Demanding that they show me proof is the quickest way to make them go away -- or to lead them into an actually logical argument, where I can beat the metaphorical snot out of them.
