I really enjoyed this. It's of a debate Einstein had with one of his professors concerning whether or not God is evil. I think he proved the professor WRONG. ^^
A neat vid.

I would thoroughly discount the story, but not the argument. Einstein's family was Jewish but not religious, and perhaps more important to the video, Einstein actually attended a Catholic school. Such an argument from a teacher would therefore seem to be highly unlikely. In any case, it's a story I've heard before, although usually both the teacher and the student are anonymous.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Ah, is that so? Well, I thought it was interesting, regardless of whether it was Einstein or not.
