He didnt believe in an organized-religion "God." But this doesn't matter. The point is, your argument presents a fallacy.
How?
He tried to base his argument on science. Albert obviously blew that out of the water.
What I see is him not knowing what "god" means which many agree with. It's kinda hard to ponder even the most intelligent minds and have them contemplate on everything "just appeared". The world is to perfect. Earth is just to ideological to have just "happened"
Go back and look at the post and show me where it is untrue.

You're saying Einstein was tolerant of [edit - or didnt resent] the intellectually lazy? Or that intolerance [or resentment] of the IL indicates a bad scientist?
Why don't you quote my entire post instead of cherry-picking. Lame back-pedaling.
You must thnk there's such a thing as a shortcut to knowledge. And that a college degree in science doesn't really mean anything. And that a person who has performed that work should feel just great when second-guessed by persons who haven't performed that work. Good luck to you then.
Have any of you lost friendships and/or family over the 2008 Presidential election?
No, not at all. In fact, this election has made me feel much closer to several members of my family who I don't get to see very much. My very conservative brother-in-law and his even more conservative son are both voting for Obama ... which means that we can finally talk politics without yelling.
