very interesting
Evil is not the absence of Good. Apathy is the absence of Good. If I do nothing I am not evil I am just apathetic.
Evil is the opposite of good, not the absence of Good.
Just because the rules apply to Heat and Light does not mean they apply to Good and Evil.
Edit: My (super atheist) friend showed me this before, and then he followed up will multiple counter points.

Wrong again. Einstein totally missed the point. God created everything. Thus He can do to it whatever He wants. Think of it this: if you build a house, you can do to it what ever you want. You can smash the windows, you can bang up all the walls, you can even burn it down, just as long as you own it. So, in the same way, we are God's creation, He can do to us what ever He wants. If you don't think so, then you don't have any right to do whatever you want to your stuff. If God makes someone sick, then it is not wrong/evil, because He has the right to do it. We're His stuff.

I'm glad Einstein didn't write this. That would have made me sad.
Imho, both sides are making some stupid arguments.
I thought the original poster said that this was what Einstein said, and that it came from a book of Einsteins.....Originally Posted by pietimer
I handed this to a chemistry and biology and evolution teacher and had them respond........with nothing.
The students read it, and thus many refused to listen to a number of the things the science teachers were saying.....it was so funny watching the teachers just stare at the paper.
This is very interesting...changed my views on many things now, I know that for sure.
An interesting tid bit. Of course this was not actually from Einstein as is rather obvious given for one that he was never a Christian. The professor's arguments are full of holes and the student in the story seems to have little idea of what the Bible says as well. Being evil is not synonymous with being a sinner. I do like the comparison of evil being an absence of God.
The why doesn't God heal amputees argument is old and full full of logical fallacy.
science hands down
This is actually very interesting... of course, God created everything, but you do have the matters of science. I guess that argument could go on for hours...
So if I own a pet, it's perfectly okay for me to torture it?
