[You have just witnessed, in the post quoted above, how the thoughts of a great man can be distorted and misrepresented by a few isolated sentences taken out of context.] ----------------------------------------------
For those who believe in God, no (scientific) proof is required; for those who choose to deny God’s existence, -- no amount of proof can convince them otherwise.
Talking about proof, can Helekar refute that the following are not ‘stand alone’ statements by the Albert Einstein? It is ludicrous that Helekar calls them ‘out of context’ –- to the world they are perfectly relevant and in context. Einstein’s statements are quoted verbatim (word for word). If Helekar can’t prove that those were not in essence Albert Einstein’s statements, -- isn’t it wiser to shut up.
Helekar, if you cannot prove that God does not exist, why imprudently argue about something you are not capable of scientifically refuting? More importantly, why ridicule other people’s spiritual beliefs?
BTW we did not hear from Helekar regarding his priest friends who allegedly claimed that the Christian scriptures are ‘not literal truths’? Or was it Helekar’s act of subterfuge and deception, conceived from his hilarious hallucinations and out of absolute desperation?
Mr Helekar, for argument sake may I ask you, if you believe in the statement: 'In God We Trust' or do you just believe in using the *US currency* which bears witness to such a belief? Did anyone hear you argue that based on your belief that God does not exist, you would refuse to accept the US$ currency where “God” is written on it? Sounds hypocritical isn’t it -- that you don’t believe in the ‘God’ inscription on the currency, yet content that the currency serves your very own purpose?
Helekar comparing himself to Albert Einstein, is simply hilarious. By the same token, shouldn’t Helekar abide by Einstein’s thoughts: Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish. ~Albert Einstein
