Your example doesnt show where Einsteins claimed any such thing. It does quote Eddington (who's not Einstein) statements about it being to close to Theology, but the article then lumps Einstein in as being similiar without any proof. Solely because Eddington (who's not Einstein) did feel that way.
Your article then goes on and states that Einstein was against the Big Bang because it ran counter to his "Universe Always was" theory, which sounds like Eintstiens reasoning way ahead of any theological one |
Well, except that his "reasoning" wasn't scientifically based. He decided the physics, the math, was right. But, it sounded like creation, therefore it must be wrong and HE must be right - even in the face of conflicting information.
That's kind of my point all along. His mind was not open. His reason for choosing a constant universe was, I'm sure, ego driven as well as anti-theologic driven, but it was still anti-theology (at least in part).
His ideology was kinda the point of the original post starting the thread, too.
