I think that is about right. And if we don't kill ourselves (completely possible) or run into some cosmic castrophe such as getting smacked by a mile + long asteriod, the sun will eventually burn out and make the entire planet uninhabitable.
By the time the sun burns out and explodes, we will have already exhausted all resources here just the same.
False. Einstein was spiritual, but by all accounts an atheist. It is widely believed that he and Dawkins are religious because of their statements on the "unexplainable mysteries of the universe." Completely untrue, as they sought answers to the questions deemed unanswerable, not compromises. And trust me, Einstein would have scoffed at the idea of a "new-earth."
#1. I did not say that Einstein was a young-earther, as I don't
think he was at all...
#2. Einstein was NOT an atheist as you say, he said so himself.
There is the classical quote that is paraphrased:
"God does not throw dice with the universe" a more accurate
translation is:
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the 'old one'. I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.
Einstein also said "[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."

It is the definitive biography.
