I will start by saying I hold no religion. I'm not christian, morman, budist, hindu, nothing at all. but I believe in a "God" so to speak. I've heard many atheists say no smart logical person would believe in a God or supernatrual beings. but many scientists belive in God. I will only use this one though Einstein. they say he used a higher percent of his brain and that he may be one of the, argueably, smartest people ever to live. I am not doing this to insult your ideologies in any way. I just wanted to know your thoughts on this matter.

ok i see the problem in my question. to many words even i had a hard time making it out. I'm not saying it was true because einstein said so. I'm saying I've been insulted for believing in a higher being and people have told me that no logical, SMART person would believe in the supernatrual. well obviosly some do. i just wanted thoughts on that.

My thoughts? To each his/her own. I don't concern myself with others' beliefs or lack of. It's not my business.

If someone believes in some "higher power" of some sort, that is on them. My disapproval is more with organized religion, especially those that can't leave others alone. People who's views are treated as personal and sacred to them and not passed around any which way, cheapening it, have so much more depth to it and are deserving of so much more respect then those that act like their form of belief is a "dime a dozen" so to speak...the ones that pass it around like it's not sacred, that treat it as something to be pushed on other people...these people are the ones that are ridiculous because they think they are so deep, and yet there is not an inch of depth there.

Just because one uses a higher percentage of his brain, and believes in God, does not mean that it is true. Even Einstein didn't know......he just had faith because there were scientifically unexplainable things in this world. Many people place God in that little space, until science can prove it wrong.

I have to answer your question with a question: Exactly what do you think your "God" is? Answer that and thoroughly test your statements (of belief) and you'll arrive at the only possible true answer available to you.
An intelligent mind asks itself questions and an honest mind is not satisfied with tripe for answers.

POST SCRIPT to special_…: Nobody handed out any promise to you when you were born that said you would be entitled to know the truth of your reality "easily" ...but, in fact, what you already know, even if it is just by your suspecion, is true and easy to understand.
You know that you have never heard nor have you seen "God" and you know that you have never heard from the dead, nor from angels, nor from Satin, etc., etc..
And there you have it... Truth. We are here by a process other than mystical creation.

albert einsteine used the word god to represent "unsolvable" challenges, and to discribe nature, he was not a religious man in respect to organized religion.

quote from einsteine:
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."

Please understand that because Einstein thought something was true does not mean it was true. Einstein was a great scientist because of the testable hypotheses he put forward which have stood the test of time. He was not omnipotent or all knowing.

The science you speak about is called reverse logic; if I cannot prove something doesn't exist, therefore ,it must exist and that is why some scientists do beleive in GOD, but it doesnt make logical sense just to believe in something because you cannot disprove it either..................

Einstein didn't believe in a god. And even if he did, he was a brilliant physicist and mathematician, that doesn't make him an authority on the existence or nonexistence of gods.

I am a christian!
If the smartest atheist of all converted to christianity, what else can you say. And Zeta, you don't know what kind of God Einstein believed in.

Darwin looked at just the human eye and said that there is no way the human eye evolved over time. He acknowledge design.
