What a Brain!

Oops. Forgot the

Have I missed something funny?!

Probably not. I didn't mean funny haha. But I was remembering a similar exchange between you and Josie a long while ago when she didn't find something you said as 'amusing' as you intended. Her reaction when you sent a sense of humour alert was to reboot hers forthwith. They're good like that, HQ

Wonder how she's getting on in Germany, or wherever it was?

Perhaps I had meant to be funny. I don't think you do when you say these things.

You do have an amazing memory for these things. Buggered if I can remember that!

I meant to be friendly at the same time as not accepting a put down. Difficult to get the tone right in print, obviously.

Perhaps we could discuss the reasons why it is thought there is a such a sea change between the two posted statements of Einstein.

1) Was he `two-faced` simply pandering to the `culture` he was in communication with at the time?

2) Did he have a change of mind between the 30s and the 50s?

3) Was the fly-leaf comment in the Bible inspired more by his wife? (after all behind every good man there is....)(Stephen Hawkins wife is a C of E
evangelical).

4) Does it matter? Seeing that Religion was not his field anyway!

5) Are we sure that both comments are genuine? (Plenty of Art dealers have egg on their faces after declaring works of art `genuine`.)

Of course people change their ideas and views throughout life. Don't most intelligent people do this? Einstein was an intelligent person. In my thirties I was a committed Christian, now I am not. Who knows, as life progresses and I read more and talk to people I may change again. That doesn't mean I am a hypocrite!
