Could be, but it seems serious. Anyone know what the deal is with this conservapedia. It seems like they may be actual conservatives that are just making a bunch of stuff up, but if they are challenged on it, they'll use the `ha ha we were just kidding'--defense, while continuing to present it as fact to receptive audiences. Call me cynical ... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The OP's article isn't too far off from the same type of anti-Darwinism nonsense that is posted on this site on a regular basis by certain posters. Regardless of whether or not the site was created to be tongue-in-cheek, there will be millions of ignorant religious nuts who will read these articles and believe every word because it fits with their anti-science pro-religion worldview.

My point was that Einstein did not believe in Newton's god, as referred to in the passage, and that 99.99+ percent of those who are religious would no doubt count Spinoza's god as no god at all once they understood pantheism.

"We began by asking "Did Einstein believe in God?" The answer, as Hawking pointed out, depends on what you mean by "God". In one sense (the Pantheist sense), Einstein did believe in God. But in another sense he didn't. Indeed, except for his deciding to use the term "God" in a way that is unfamiliar to most people, his views are indistinguishable from those of someone who is an unabashed atheist."

"Although the term "atheist" has negative connotations for many people, it is worth remembering that in the strict sense of the word, the term applies to many of the most thoughtful and highly moral people throughout history. As we have seen, it applies to many liberal Christians, Jews, and Muslims; it applies to Deists; and it applies to Pantheists like Einstein"

And from Einstein:

"From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist..."

e=mc2

energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light, squared

so you can take even a small amount of mass and because the speed of light (squared none the less) you will have a huge amount of energy.

But this has nothing to do with atomic weapons? Which take a small amount of mass and create a huge amount of energy?

Things like Conservapedia are the only reason I EVER get levelled anywhere.

Most conservatives are skeptical since science is supposed to be about finding proof before a theory becomes a fact, not after.

A Different Conservative, a creationist, ID'er type, says:

No theory of physics has been tested as rigorously and as comprehensively as general relativity. Because general relativity has passed all its tests, we can be confident in the conclusions drawn from it and from its derivative, the space-time theorem.
