Einstein died an agnostic. Me, i am deeply into the most advanced-cuttung edge cosmology that has not even begun to reach the public.
There now in the world of Physics and Cosmology is a revolution going on in mindboggling proportion.
It is so exciting that to be a young physicist and/or cosmologist is to be involved in the greatest time in the history of man's search for what is--and what they are finding that EVERY THING we thought we knew is WRONG.
i am a mystic, with much bias to Buddhism(but i practiceno rituals, EVER).
i ended my thread because there simply were zero people on SI that give a damn about the revolution going on in physics and cosmology.
People simply can not fathom what we now know, that what we think is the universe(that which is the sum of ALL elemental mass) is now virtually irrelevant as it constitutes but 4% of what is.
And that we which we believed had no existence is about 96% of what is.
You will find me a savage critic of all God of Abraham Based Religions.
But like the feirce critic of religion Thomas Paine, i am deeply spiritual and am a deist.
Tom Paine, one of the greatest attackers of organized religion, was not an atheist.
Also, because i have studied Einstein all my life, i can say he had one the greatest mind/souls in world history.
But as for your charge of cowardice he beat you to it.
In either 1949 or 1950 he wrote a pamphlet in which he called himself a coward, with a yellow streak a mile wide, because his driving motive to bring to world his mindboggling theories was because he wanted to be world famous, because he was terrified of being anonymous, and thought world fame would give him some sort of immortality.
He was in utter despair post Hiroshima(it was then that he said if he realized what his theories would lead to he would have instead become a shoemaker), and went through a phase of Atheism, but is t he end he believed there still existed a great mystery but thought it highly likely death was annihilation, but he came being agnostic.But his famous quote "God Does NOT play with Dice" he had rejected years before.
The latest science coming out the minds of Nobel Prize winners and other world class minds such as Smoot(who, with another man, proved the existence of Dark Energy--as opposed to Dark matter, who's existence has since also be proven) , Michael Tuner , Martin Rees and several others.
i give a link to my thread i have now closed(for lack of interest) as its history contains material about myself that will disappoint you.
Threadwascalled, "Am i weird or is everybody else crazy"
Subject 57022
i also give this link which no one has ever commented on.
i don't know why, but it seems goes in one ear and out another of thosewho read--maybe it is true that at a certain age many minds become frozen to new ideas.
i think it is like telling people of the middlle ages that the earth was NOT the center of the universe.
What is now going on is most repulsive to both committed atheist and to those that believe G-d created the earth(this is not so,btw).

i suspect this will not be read as i have learned atheist are as closed minded as fundamentalist.
This is no proof of G-d nor is it in anyway intended to be, <b.but it is meant to wake people up to how damned little they know about anything.
Thisby far the most important matter going in thi sworld , and it is going right NOW.
Remember this, as Stephen Hawkings, stated, the most mindboggling question has always been why is there anything.
And since he said that, that anything is now but 4% of what we thought was all there was.
Scientist have come to realize the term Dark now carries one meaning--it is Dark, only in that we can't see/smell it/detect it ibut we do know it is there , and we have NO idea what it is.
Thebest wecan say isthat Dark Matter is "Non-Elemental Mass" and it fills the room you are sitting in right now.
So we now have hard reason to grasp the buddhist belief that we live in an illussion as we gotten data to justify their metaphysics.
Cosmology and MetaPhysicsare beginning to wed.
As you seem rather 'i am damned proud i am an atheist, i am damned proud of that, because it proves i am smarter than the masses.' Will tpossibly find this introductory article to a few basics to The New Cosmology as something to ignore.
Like i say i will be banned from this thread yet:)
i can't be categorized and that is something people find irritating. So IT Goes, as Kurt Vonnegut made famous, in his "Cat's Cradle"(No Cat,No Cradle:)
For me, i don't give a bloody damn if one does or does not believe in a higher being beyond all this crap or not.
But having been a militant atheist early in my life, i can look back and see i was as annoying as someone accosting me, and saying have you accepted Jesus as your Savior, because if you haven't you going to hell.
i can be acidic and impish, i let proselytizer preach to me andwhen hegot to "Have you accepted Jesus as yourSavior. Have you been washed in the Blood of Jesus" i asked "Do you sell any Blood of Jesussoap. , you know, like a soap mixed some blessed blood, that i can wash myself with???"
He immediately consigned me to Hell.LOL! Max
