"Are you quoting Pol Pot or Pat Robertson?" Nope. "Acquiescing to the everyday banality of one's peers in the hopes of avoiding embarrassment is nothing short of cowardly." You are right. You misunderstood my post. I am speaking of "knowing" in two senses: The relative or scientific knowledge that we extoll in this world. And the pretense of knowing the unknown. I am not going to hold your hands through this. Einstein knew far far more than his peers about the known. BUT...he knew only as MUCH as his peers about the unknown...BUT HE DID KNOW THAT! Everybody else knew EVERYTHING about God (even thought they all disagreed because they were idiots!). Einstein knew NOTHING about the UNKNOWN. The more you KNOW about the unknown...the more of an idiot you are... :-)
