Thread Name: BS: The Atheist Delusion
Subject: RE: BS: The Atheist Delusion
Darwin was agnostic.   I don't think anybody denies that--I certainly haven't--actually I noted this in another thread.   He was not atheist. Nor was Einstein--as is clear from the vast majority of his writings.

So what, Ron? These chaps were working scientists, not theologians or philosophers. They have interesting views but they carry no more weight on this particular topic than anyone else's. Add to that that they were very much men of their times, and who knows? Had they lived today they may well have been atheists. But I doubt that anyone really cares, except you. When it comes to relativity or evolution, I bow down to these blokes. On all other topics I can think for myself.
