PS. Rula, makeing the statement that Einstein was an atheist was a little much don't you think? Einstein never made that simple of a statement.
Lostone, I didn't respond earlier because apparently you saw my challenging your logic as starting an argument. Rest assured that I neither want to teach you nor learn from you when it comes to religion. This is a DP/DR board, I come here to read about only that. You say you want to keep religious stuff over PM's, but then you go on quoting your God, and still continue the argument. fine
You discredited Einstein earlier on account of him being "old news", which I found to be a brilliant argument cuz now I can simply discredit Jesus for being "really really old news." Why go back and research Einstein's religious believes? guess you knew you couldn't discredit him that easy.
Yes making the statement that he was an atheist was an over simplification, he was closer to an agnostic. but it's quite irrelevant, cuz either way his knowledge in physics (which far surpasses yours and mine despite it being, according to you, incredibly old and obsolete) never lead him to think creationism was a
necessary conclusion. that's not to say that it's not a
possibility, just not a conclusion.
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.
