Einstein and Shia Islam
- Thread starter Shia Islam
- Start date
To be picky, investigating time and investigating relativity is two different things.
Did I say they are the same?
But they do overlap.
Again, human need islam, and not the vice versa...
Everyone wants Einstein on their side, but few can correctly lay claim to the honor.
He secretly & telepathically communicated to me that he was a Revoltingifarian, saying it was the only true faith.
It's the first time this has been made public.

Yes. I read it here, so it must be true! :bow:
It is the internet, after all!

It is certainly true that some human animals seem to need Islam, but it is a tad juvenile to suggest "human(s) need Islam", in general terms.
We need to agree on what Islam is at the first place...
Then we can decide on whether human(s) need it or not.
If you mean that alll humans need to study the Quran, well, I fear it takes more than just stating that.

Given that well over half of the Earth's population is not Muslim, that survey may not go especially well.

Why is it we "need" Islam though? I've been doing pretty good without, and I see no real reason to change direction. If the need is to avoid eternal consequences, then I would rather separate myself from such a deity than kneel in fear.
Those who need Islam would already know of their need. For those of us who don't need it, reading
their book ain't gonna create a need to believe their myths & become subservient to their god.
what i wanted to say...
is that we as Muslim , do not need to do what Richard Dawkins has done in his book "The God Delusion", where he dedicated [part] of the book in trying to prove that Einstein was an atheist.

There always seems to be a lot of Muslims trying to prove that the Quran is a science book for a group of people with no need to do so.
If the Quran is a science book, it sure does a good job of hiding it.

If anyone wants a really serious and exhaustive look at Einstein's view of religion, then read, "Einstein and Religion" written by the philosopher Max Jammer. This book explains in detail how Einstein viewed most, if not all, organized religions. He certainly was not a Muslim. He wasn't even a good Jew in terms of religious beliefs. I checked the book out of the local library, and I enjoyed it so much I bought my own copy.
Quoting from a summary of the book on AmazonDotCom, "The book begins with a discussion of Einstein's childhood religious education and the religious atmosphere--or its absence--among his family and friends. It then reconstructs, step by step, the intellectual development that led Einstein to the conceptions of a cosmic religion and an impersonal God, akin to "the God of Spinoza.""
That pretty much excludes any of the Abrahamic religions.

Good science is always vague, cryptic, and mysterious.
Don't forget virgins & smiting. Science is loaded with virgins & smiting.
I should be ashamed of myself for such posts.
But I'm not. How's 'bout you?
