Quote:Personally, I probably what would fall into the deist camp; I'd be hard pressed to believe in a God with an ongoing interaction with this world. I lean toward a 'creator' of the universe; but can certainly understand a position where one might argue the material universe iterates between big bang/big crunch/big bang back thru eternity.

I have to say, LeadB, that yours is one of the most intelligent and well thought out posts that I've read in this forum so far. I only wish it was on a topic that I could really sink my teeth into and had a firm grasp on.
The truth is, I don't know there is a god anymore than I know there isn't a god, and I have equal distain for people who are blindly on one side or another. I wish them no offense and, I hope them none on me, but anybody here who's absolutely sure about anything that happened before their born, in my eyes, is a close-minded idiot.
And yes, I don't know Einstein's belifs on God, but if he were an Atheist, I would think him a close minded idiot too.
There is always the problem of what to accept of that which one has not personally verified. One of the advantages to science, that if properly documented, you can repeat the experiment (though, it's a bit challenging if one needs a particle accellerator ;-) ).
My understanding is that Einstein was most likely what you'd call a deist, I might be wrong. He certainly never put forth a strong statement of atheism.

One point, I would not lump all Atheists as 'idiots', any more than I'd lump all Wiccans or Christians as 'idiots.' For me, the simple statement of 'I believe there is no god' or 'I believe there is a God' doesn't qualify anyone for idiocy; however, I don't have much patience with those who say 'I believe there is no god, and it is simply foolish for anyone to ever believe that there is one.' Most of the atheists I know are quite content to hold their beliefs and respect the beliefs of others. Dawkins, on the other hand, is clearly very intolerant of any sort of religious belief, and I think is only going to spark trouble in trying to push such an extreme position.
