Now compare how the early Christian saint Justin Martyr stands admonishing Jews as 'fossil people' with Einstein's same summation. We see the anti-semtite rancour starts early in Christian thinking don't we? So i am only making a clear observation here that one of the great early Christian fathers of the Logos also clearly made, dim-dim.

Justin's thesis here is just an extension of the kind of reasoning which pervades the New Testament
jewishvirtuallibrary.org
He makes the claim that Christianity is the authentic flowering of biblical
Judaism, and that the Jews who cling to their faith in its old form are clinging
to an obsolete doctrine. For doing so they are berated as blind and stubborn and
insensitive, a fossil people clinging to a superseded faith.

Albert Einstein wrote this regarding his visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and watching religious Jews praying:
"Where dull-witted clansmen of our tribe were praying aloud, their faces
turned to the wall, their bodies swaying to and fro. A pathetic sight of men
with a past but without a future."
