[commenting on Europe's ban on creationism in schools]
This is a strategic ploy to further spit on the Bible.
Europe and the great minds that came from there ALL believed the Bible was accurate.
Albert Einstein saw no conflict between science and religion. Like Galileo, Newton and other immortal greats of science before him, Einstein believed in GOD.

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
Liar.
Some hard facts for you:
1. Most Christians in Europe recognise the truth of evolution.
2. No rational person believes the Bible to be inerrant.
3. Creationism is junk science.
Oh, someone we respected back in the day believed in God. I guess that means we should if we're smart.
Your reasoning has a fail.
"Einstein believed in GOD"
But not your god, I'm afraid. Einstein's 'god' is just another name for nature and therefore has no inetrest in your prayers, your fairy stories, or your obsessions about abortion, homosexuality and 'evilution'. Sorry, but you don't have an ally in Einstein.
Ban?
how the hell have you managed to get it into your heads that everyone hates christians? people believed in the bible because back then, there was nothing else to believe in. everyone would have went absolutely mad without a viable explanation. so we drop it and move onto a more sensible exlanation... we wish.
"This is a strategic ploy to further spit on the Bible."
Fair is fair. You creationists have been spitting on science for long enough.
"Europe and the great minds that came from there ALL believed the Bible was accurate."
Yeah, until about the seventeenth/eighteenth centuries. You might want to catch up to the 21st century with the rest of us.
"Albert Einstein saw no conflict between science and religion."
Einstein was likely a deist at best. His letters and interviews show that he did not believe in any sort of "personal" deity.
"Like Galileo, Newton and other immortal greats of science before him, Einstein believed in GOD."
Possibly Einstein did, but not your god. Besides, this is all just a pitiful appeal to authority fallacy.
"Europe and the great minds that came from there ALL believed the Bible was accurate."
..and since we used the bible as a starting point, what could ever make us diverge from it except, say, overwhelming empirical evidence in every scientific field?
You ever notice that there is no seperate American Science, Chinese Science, Russian science? notice how they all agree? That's because facts are facts wherever you go, and they align with themselves. That's what makes science universal.
Now notice how none of the religions ever agree? That's because imagination is different wherever you go.
Oh, you forgot to mention Darwin on your list...
Oh, and Einstein was Teh Joo. (Which he then rejected in favor of a general fuzzy theism, or something. Something =/= organized religion.)
Oh, and Newton was a nutter, who believed all sorts of crazy, heretical stuff.
Oh, and Galileo... ::headdesk:: no, no, he didn't have *any* problems with religious authority!
Oh, and believing in God =/= believing the Bible is accurate/inerrant (see: Galileo).
Oh, and. You Phail.
Einsteinian god != magic old man on a cloud.
You == failure. Go find the bucket the internet-walrus lost.
Einstein's opinions, if not further motivated, are irrelevant, and citing him is an appeal to authority.
It is also an inaccurate one, since Einstein's God was at most one and the same with natural laws, and quite explicitly not the biblical god.
We'll teach what we know - or hold as vastly most plausible given the evidence - and creation is most likely false.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
