Reader comments about this quote:

Thinking of Catholic pope Thinking the world was flat and the earth in the center of our solar system. -- cal, Lewisville, Tx

-- Mary - MI
I like it a lot, I see the application. cal, just a hair off. Ptolemy (pre-pope) through math and science of the day almost showed that the earth was the center of the Universe. He only needed a few more sticks with an addition few elliptics. As to the earth being flat, that was a political assertion for control (both science and religion new the earth was round). -- Mike, Norwalk
Hear, hear! -- E Archer, NYC
The first half of the quote is nonsense, literally. -- Stew
Stew, how are you defining religion? -- Mike, Norwalk
-- Mary, MI
Please don't be mislead by some childish sense here. I very much appreciate many of the contributions that Albert Einstein passed on to us, however, I must disagree with this one. Makes on one wonder if he even said it. Science is directly opposed to any supernatural phenomena. Gods, demons, angels could only cripple a sense of striving for a reasonable conclusion in any scientific equation. Science is purely the laws of nature arriving at convergence. The idea of the supernatural realm of religion is not possible to incorporate. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
