Amazing. either way everybody makes a good, valid point, But nobody knows and nobody will ever know (untill you die) If we as people were ment to find out if a “God” exists or does not, we would have known by now.

I think the story it inspiring, but do not understand why people get it so personal?? I mean all this people complaining about Albert’s name being in it related to him?? or why do they sound so angry at it?? but you cannot chance peoples mind. I think it was a great…All of you have a blessed day

You know it’s funny. People say christians are narrowed minded but I look at these comments and it really sounds like the people who do not believe in God or thinks this story is a joke is narrow minded. It just makes me laugh that people are so so so so so so stupid!!!!

I’ve seen this email several times and it has gradually evolved (no pun intended) into the most recent which I got last week. Basically, using logic to prove the existence if God is faulty.

I would comment further here but I had way to much to say, so I broke the whole thing down in a blog post: http://coalblacksea.blogspot.com/2010/04/god-vs-science.html

I invite everyone to read my explanation and analysis and comment.

I was impressed enough to send this one to quite a few people, and embarrased when my Christian cousin (a medical doctor) called me on it, “I wish Albert had said it.” I agree that lies should not be perpetrated. I usually look for a citation, and I should have checked this one. It appears that Albert did not write such a book, article, or lecture, and that the “school boy – professor dialogue” could be based upon.

I’ve sometimes wondered if people on the left (or the right, I suppose) PLANT ideas that group thinkers would like to repeat, ON PURPOSE to make the other group look stupid. The reason would be to then make all the arguments of the other group look stupid and not neeed refutation.

The POSSIBILITY of this should be another reason (aside from the commandment that discourages rumors and slander) to make anybody in a group think before “forwarding.” I know I screwed up on this one.

(But I do like the quote someone added to this discussion: “If Einstein didn’t believe in God when he was alive, he surely does now.”)

Dear Kathleen: I suppose you are a faithfull girl and that´s the reason to do your test. I´m a believer too, but I agree with the people who wrote that is not correct to use a lie to spread the Christian principles, because it has no point. God dosn´t need or support our lies, it is out of question. In my view point science and God are not opposit. I am a medical doctor and as a result a scientist, with a solid science based education, and I believe science is a gift from God. Evolution? why not? it is not against the idea of a God that creates life. What could be the big bang but God´s Word in action?. We as Christians most show an special love for truth, and we have to show the Love of God in action in our lives. There are a lot of beautiful stories in internet but they are false, so we can´t use these stories as a proof of the love of God… It is not ok to inspire sadness or sorrow in order to make people think about God… there are a lot of true stories of love and compassion, so we don´t have to invent stories to touch people´s hart. We have to use always the truth, no matters what. Machiavelo was wrong.
May the Bless of God be with you always.

OK I have a question!

In this little test, did at this point over 2500 people read this post, Is it because of the subject matter or because Albert Einsteins name was in the title and his picture was inserted? and what search word was used most to find this post?

I know because I have the data!

Thank you everyone who helped in this little experiment!

I have to side with Jim on this one Kathleen. I think the people who fabricate these stories are thieves. They steal someone else’s reputation and use it for their own purposes. My question is, why does this occur so often among Christians? I can point to dozens of similar emails that each hijack some famous person and then put words in that person’s mouth. More often than not, the words conveniently echo a Christian or conservative talking point. To me, this tactic is a red flag. It tells me that the philosophy or ideology presented in the false story cannot stand on its own two feet, so the author of the story has to embellish it.

There would be nothing wrong with this story if you left Einstein out of it. The professor’s argument would still be pretty lame, which is the point of the story: Godless liberal professors are so stupid they can be outsmarted by righteous Christian college students. Why not leave it at that?

Why Einstien, because without Einstien part of the point of the story is lost!

It is aan anecdote for us all to talk about… which is what you did..

Have a wonderful day!!

So, if I’m to read this correctly Kathleen, you are saying it’s ok to perpetuate a lie as long as you are making a point? I mean, it’s a nice anecdote, even if the so-called philosophy professor’s arguments are simplistic and childish at best, why does it have to falsely feature Einstein? Ah, yes, as it was said, to lend gravitas, to make someone believe it’s true, instead of just enjoying an anecdote.
