I don't believe in "Evolution"; but I do believe in "Relativity"; that is why it is perfectly possible for GOD to have created the world and every thing in it in 6 days yet still for the world to be billions of years old; and the various steps of creation to have been separated by millions of years. You have to learn something about Einstein to understand it.

"I don't believe in "Evolution"; but I do believe in "Relativity";"
And yet, you obviously understand neither of them.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Well why don't you just explain it to us then Mr. Smart Guy? (admit it, you don't have a clue what your talking about, do you?)
I think my copy of Special Relativity just started smoking... Shit, and it is right next to my Space Time physics book too. The whole bookshelf will go up now.
(Was a former physics major turned engineer... somedays, I wished I had stayed but supersonic shocks are cool when you get to teach the classes.)
"created the world and every thing in it in 6 days yet still for the world to be billions of years old"
Uh, those aren't contradictory propositions. They reconcile full well. Why the hell are you butchering Einstein's name to reconcile them?
Since you know and understand Prof. Einstein, what was his Nobel Prize for, specifically? Where did he complete it? Bern, Zurich, Berlin, New Jersey?
"You have to learn something about Einstein to understand it."
While it's next to impossible to find a text on the theory of general relativity which doesn't mention Einstein, it's perfectly possible to understand it without knowing who Einstein is. In fact, IIRC, Tesla wasn't far off making the same discovery.
For a scientific perspective, this person is completely...wrong. Time may not be a constant, but it doesn't work in the way they are intending.
I understand what they are TRYING to say...but they are still wrong...
Um, that's not Einstein. At all.
Get a clue, you're embarassing yourself on the intarnetz.
So, because you declare you don't believe in something scientific, that means that an imaginary Sky Daddy made with the magic?
How many times were you dropped on your head?
And what bullshit did they teach you about Einstein?
Hey, when can that fundie redefinition project restart? xD
(If it ever started at all.)
Sigh....clutching at straws or what?
The Genesis creation story is nothing more than a myth....a very old one, but a myth. Trying to shoehorn it to fit in with modern scientific knowledge just doesn't work. Accept reality, instead of trying to warp it to fit ancient stories. You'll feel better when you do.
Yeah, because the theory of relativity reads "goddidit."
Makes perfect sense to me... Einstein's Bagels are relatively fresher than Bruger's, which is why it's possible for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery (GOD) to create the world from unclaimed stuff on their Intergalactic Space Cruisers in 6 days that seemed like a billion years because they made Cleveland first and then had to live there while they built the rest.
It's in Revelations people! You just have to read between the lines! I'm off to climb a water tower now. See ya!
YOU need to learn something about Einstein to understand why it doesn't work that way.
As you approach the speed of light, time slows for you, specifically. I have no idea how that could possibly work for what you're suggesting.
Unfortunately Einstein's theory of relativity is not a "get out of impossibility free card". When people make these kind of comments, you can just imagine the religious authority figure who told them this, standing up the front saying, "you know, Einstein's theory of relativity proves God's creation..." Then they just regurgitate it to anyone who will listen as if they thought of it.
So, basically we can calculate the speed of god using time dilatation
t'=t/Sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
which shows that god is moving with nearly the speed of light.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
