Einstein and the Cosmic Man

[Harbal]

I totally get this Nick.

Put it back, Dontaskme.

[Dontaskme]

I agree.

If you value our friendship, Dontask, I suggest you stop agreeing with him.

I get Nick.

Does that mean the friendship that is Harbal and Jane is under threat of being unfriended?

I'm afraid it does, yes. I can't believe you'd take his side after all I've done for you.

Lol..okay, so be it, I really hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave.

[Harbal]

but I love to watch you leave.

How can you say that after everything we've been through together? He's no good for you, Jane, he'll only drag you down, and your backside will be black and blue by the time he's done with you.

Another fool trying to co-opt Einstein, and bend his views to agree with some half baked notion of god.
It does not and cannot work.
Every child should read and inwardly digest that letter; including the OP.

Actually, Hobbs, we've got enough fools already but I suppose you may as well join in now you're here.

Forget the cosmic man. This indoctrinated secularism has become so entrenched and so influential in the world it is doubtful our species will survive the next fifty years. It is amazing how easily egoistic secularism destroys the human impulse for the experience of humility in front of the actions of this "illimitable spirit." How easily human consciousness is sacrificed to imagination.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. Einstein

Why would I want to spank Jane? I don't even know her. Did she do something wrong?

[Harbal]

Why would I want to spank Jane?

Oh, you've progressed to spanking now, have you?

I don't even know her.

That's an advantage for you. Anyone you did know wouldn't let you get close enough to put your grubby little hands on them.

SInce Einstein's religion was totally secular it's rather amusing to see these two statements side by side!! LOL

Do you really believe that this " illimitable superior spirit" Einstein referred to is limited to one level of reality and a resident of Plato's cave?

You are crackers.
It's a misquote.
As Einstein did not believe god was a person, the pronoun "WHO" should be "THAT".

Those who believe we live in chaos reject the harmony of creation. ...

And yet Physics points out that its all only relatively probable.

No idea who these believers in chaos are?

Those who see the harmony of creation know it reflects universal laws which cannot arise by accident. ...

The former bit means scientists the latter bit means the religious who add this bit. You in fact.

But since many reject the universe as a harmonious whole there is nothing to co-create with.

Without objective purpose, secularists will assert the supremacy of subjective meaning and purpose

And yet Einstein says "Man has infinite dimensions and finds God in his conscience. [A cosmic religion] has no dogma other than teaching man that the universe is rational and that his highest destiny is to ponder it and co-create with its laws.", nothing to do with a 'God' providing an 'objective' purpose and in fact 'in his conscience' so in his subjectivity.
