but lets ask your question to you...
What has Einstein, Darwin, Hitchens, Dawkins, or any scientists for that matter done for you PERSONALLY? You take their teachings to be truth or some version of understanding just like I take Jesus'. The problem is that you are a victim of that closemindedness that you mentioned. I am willing to learn and you are not. I am willing to listen to and study Darwin, Hitchens, Dawkins, Einstein, and to learn what they have to say, it is YOU who have proven himself to be closeminded in this case not me. Now that doesn't mean that I agree with them, because I don't put my eggs in the "science is golden" basket because science is not an absolute. Religion is not an absolute either.
What kind of answer are you asking for? Are you saying that a persons life cannot influence others without their physical presence?
Martin Luther King, Adolf Hitler, Muhammed, Moses, Paul, Abe Lincoln, Michael Jordan, much of the Roman culture, George Washington Carver...
I can keep going on and on about the sheer number of people who have personally influenced and provided for me and you through the impact of their life.
Now you can be childish and ignore what I wrote in my last post or you can formulate a good response either way you are arguing for science over religion with great tenacity.
