			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>At her blog on the design of life and other matters, <a href="http://www.overwhelmingevidence.com/oe/node/515" target="_blank">Denyse O&#8217;Leary seems to be bored</a> by the fact that Einstein could have been an atheist :</p>
<blockquote><p>Albert Einstein&#8217;s letter coming up at auction: Does it show that he was an atheist? (I think that&#8217;s just a publicity ploy.)</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a reference to the text of Albert Einstein :</p>
<blockquote><p>The word <strong>God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses</strong>, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.</p></blockquote>
<p>The bold part share a striking ressemblance with some parts of the preface of Hegel <em>Phänomenologie des Geistes</em>, by the way.</p>
<p>What is the problem? Well, about 120% of the time of pro-ID people is dedicated to proving that science (I don&#8217;t mean just evolution, I mean physics, environmentalism, global warming science, neurosciences, psychiatry, among other) is plain bullshit.</p>
<p>If it is, why be puzzled by the fact that one of the most emblematic figure of science was an atheist? </p>
<p>Because ID want to be considered as a science, and <strong>they need to proove that their middle-age beliefs are perfectly compatible with science</strong>. So, the fact that great — emblematic — scientists are/were atheists is seen as a defeat of their way of thinking. </p>
<p>You&#8217;re right, that&#8217;s schizophrenia…</p>
