Good Point! Einstein was famous for trying to figure out the "will" of god. He used mathematics. Unlike all of those fanatics that have killed maimed and destroyed millions of lives in the name of the "will" of god. They used the same book that is used today. Also, doesn't it seem odd that fanatics of any religion are almost always fanatics in the religion that they grew up with. It seems likely then that a devout Christian would be a devout Muslim if they had been shipped off to an orphanage and given to a Muslim family. And both the devout Christian and the devout Muslim will argue until they are blue in the face that their religion is the one "truth". They may concede that the other religions have good philosophies (maybe). I don't know but it makes all of their credibility a little smaller in my eyes.
For those of you interested in this (totally unrelated side topic) you should check out this. This explains where the old 6000 year thing came from. Hey, I'm not saying all Christians are clueless, I was just demonstrating how much brainwashing one Christian organization (and many like it) did to my bro.
BTW... Many millions of dollars have been spent to try to scientifically prove many supernatural phenomenon. Many scientists believe in the positive results of those. We usually call those people crackpots. But we have a name just the same for religious people that have also closed their eyes to the evidence of the world. Fundamentalists.
Um... ok. Hate to post to these, (esp so far off topic) but I can't help it.
My brother was once a Christian. Asked him once how all those dynosaur bones came to be about. He said "God is testing our faith". "Um, ok" I said, and stopped trying to convince. That seems to be the beauty of brain washing. Hard to fight a loss of logic.

Ever read the Old Testament? Anyway. We are too far off topic now. I slap my own wrist for leading the heard this far off course.
