What god did Einstein believe in?

it'll come around again.

don't worry about it.

we have infinity together.

I'm worried about very little believe me

Only within the family unit, tribe, or herd.
Even prairie dogs do that. It's hard wired into the Darwinian survival of the fittest framework.
There is no reason from a scientific Darwinian basis to help strangers, rivals, enemies, the terminally sick, the diseased infectious.

If nothing exists but matter and energy, there is no innate value to human life. We are just collections of electrons and quarks, and the only scientific basis for life is to preserve and propagate our genetic information. Morality is an illusion, and you would be lying to yourself if you want to claim there is an objective standard of absolute right and wrong.

I have frankly never believed in the absolute value of life, C.
To me, life must be valued in qualitative terms like everything else.

That's why I loathe the fact that euthanasia is illegal.
Our nation has FAR TOO MUCH TOLERANCE for human suffering.
We treat our pets better, and they're not genetically that much different from us.

In my view, life becomes a net negative experience when the rewards don't adequately compensate the travails.
I have no arguments to discredit your view, of course.
I just feel differently about it.

praise be!

let go and let god.

I agree.

there's only one set of footprints in the sand and they aren't mine.

I cannot make myself think that a mathematically rational and lawful universe would be produced by inanimate, irrational random chance. Neither could Einstein apparently.

Yet my belief in an infinite universe makes that actually more probable than just possible.
The real difference is that I have no problem thinking that,
and what's more, a very hard time imagining anything else.

I admittedly lack the knowledge to present an argument for or against either position,
but using what appears logical to me, I honestly think that everything is random,
that including our emotional feelings that the opposite is true.

In my feelings, I certainly do love my wife, my kids, and my dog.
I merely suspect that my feelings could possibly be just random, electronic brain activity.

cypress is always overthinking it.

he's an idiot basically.

there is randomness in the world, but order too, if we make it so.

religion is valuable for it's social order advice, not it's miracles.
