Einstein did not believe in a God (read up on your facts), but he did say that only two things are infinite, and that would be the universe and human stupidity. And he wasn't sure about the universe. I think you proved that point quite well.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

You know, I could design a much better system than this. I guess that makes me smarter than your god.

arguement from "I think this, therefore it's correct".
If you want to be mathematical, you are fractally wrong. That means you are wrong on every level.
Fail. Next contestant please.

This is well trodden ground around these here parts.
“I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings” Albert Einstein.
"Through the reading of popular scientific books, I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true" Albert Einstein
In answer to the question, Do you believe in immortality? Einstein answered "No. And one life is enough for me!"

Andrastos - no one here has any problem with you believing in God.
Why can't you just leave it at that. Feel comforted in your own beliefs and let it be.
The problem always comes from people like you trying to get everyone else to believe it.
Sorry, there is NO tangible evidence to offer, and even though you may find the universe to be an amazing creation, your argument is one of an incredulous nature and you will always end up looking foolish.

Quote:How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality?
Who said mathematics is independant of experience? Do we not have to experience a circle before we can mathematically describe it?
Quote:So what does all this have to do with belief in God? Well, these numbers, as well as many other numeric sequences, continually appear in what man calls nature, but what I call Creation.
Some might also call this a slippery slope. Others might call it special pleading. Triangles also appear in nature. It doesn't naturally follow that just because they appear in nature that God somehow exists.
Quote:The spirals of a pinecone have a clockwise rotation, and an anti-clockwise rotation, and in both cases if the number of spirals is counted in each rotation, each count will be a number contained within the Fibonacci series of numbers (8 and 13). The same principle applies to a pineapple as well, but the numbers of spirals are 13 and 23, still numbers appearing in the Fibonacci series.
Are you serious? The spirals in a pinecone are related to its growth. And such a pattern isn't restricted to pinecones. I think you confuse the math with the phenomenon. In other words, the math doesn't bring about the phenomenon. Quite the opposite is true. The math came about to describe the phenomenon. That it does it so elegantly is a testament to the skills of the mathematician to discover the pattern, not to the supposedly magical powers of the universe. Johannes Kepler observed that the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers converges. A pinecone also converges. The comedian Gallagher noted that the pyramids ending in a point at the top indicated a civilation with diminishing goals. 'Oh my that must be proof of the divine!' Oh please!
On so on and so forth.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology.

Please read up on thermodynamics, chaos theory, infinite regress, the theory of evolution and maybe acquire some basic logic too.
Your conclusion is a non sequitur. Look that up too if you don't know.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

And will then presumably punish us for using it.
God doesn't punish anybody, God is a God of love! but we do reap what we sow!
It's called the law of compensation!
We actually punish ourselves, if we do wrong!
