Seriously, after you have been given proof, from Einstein's own writing. This is not hearsay; I looked at the source and it is copyrighted by the Estate of Einstein. (I checked it on Amazon) That was part of Einstein's writing.


By the way, where is your own proof na? Who gave you that nonsense that you wrote? Where did you get it from? Did it come out of thin air?
hey man don't worry hopefully i will get what i want.
Jokes EtcAkpos And The Lying Clock At Heaven's Gate by sparko1(op): 12:47am On Feb 24, 2013
Akpos died and went to Heaven.
As he
stood in front of the Pearly Gates,
he
saw a huge wall of clocks behind
him.
He asked, 'Why all the clocks?'
St. Peter answered, Those are Lie-
Clocks. Everyone who has ever
been
on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every
time
you lie, the hands on your clock
move.
Oh, said akpos. 'Whose clock is
that?'
'That's Mother Teresas', replied
St.Peter. 'The hands have never
moved, indicating that she never
told a
lie.'
'Incredible', said akpos. 'And
whose
clock is that one?
St. Peter responded, 'That's
Abraham
Lincoln's clock. The hands have
moved Twice, telling us that
Abraham
told only two lies in his entire life.'
'Where's our politician's clock?'
asked
akpos.
St Peter replied, they r in the
office.
We're using them as ceiling fans

The only prove that can counter this post is a person who actually live and schooled with him. Many people i know have many believe when in school about God and many other religious related issues, so give me prove and maybe we could talk.

omonna78: This is why one should do his or her research before claiming nonsense.

When an immigrant from Italy to America wrote a letter to Einstein, containing, amongst other things, questions about his religion, this was Einstein's reply:

I get hundreds and hundreds of letters but seldom one so interesting as yours. I believe that your opinions about our society are quite reasonable. It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Christianity EtcAn Atheist Professor & His Student Discussion On The Existance Of God And Faith by sparko1(op): 8:18pm On Feb 23, 2013
The following discussion erupt between an Atheist Professor and his student.
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us wouldattempt to help others who are ill.But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan comefrom ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’tit ? And GOD did make everything.Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tellme, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have everheard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt yourGOD, tasted your GOD, smelt yourGOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, DemonstrableProtocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thingas cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t haveanything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Coldis not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in thelecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing asdarkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light,normal light, bright light, flashinglight. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, wellyou would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD.You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the oppositeof life is to be ignorant of the factthat death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

PoliticsHow $1 Million From Bayelsa’s Poverty fund from Bayelsa was diverted to Beyonce by sparko1(op):
SaharaReporters has uncovered a document indicating that a million dollars of Bayelsa State’s poverty alleviation fund was spent by then Governor Goodluck Jonathan on bringing American entertainers Beyonce and Jay Z toNigeria in 2006.
In a letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa officials, N150 million (approximately a million dollars in 2006) was released from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the first ThisDay Music Festival in Lagos.
The document came to light after a controversy was ignited over how much money American “reality TV” star Kim Kardashian was paid for a brief visit to Nigeria.
Ms. Kardashian, star of a US TV show about her idle rich family and who shot to international fame after a sex tape featuring her and her rapper boyfriend went viral, was reportedly paid half a million dollars for the 24-hour-visit last week.
The sources who provided the 2006 document for Beyonce and Jay Z’s visit told Saharareporters that there was a shady financial link between the producers of some high profile entertainment events and the governors and other officials who control budgets at the state and federal levels. Mr. Obaigbena’s newspaper, ThisDay, is a major sponsor of entertainment events that brings US music stars as well as top public figures for flying visits to Nigeria in exchange for gargantuan paychecks.
“Mr. Obaigbena often lines up financial bonanzas from numerous governors, ministers and other top government officials to finance his jamborees,” said one of the sources who is based in the UK and is knowledgeable about such deals.
SaharaReporters obtained a letterfrom Mr. Obaigbena to the Bayelsa State government soliciting funds from the oil-producing state ahead of Nigeria’s 46th independence celebrations in 2006. The publisher wrote, “We invite you topartner with us as co-hosts of the festival.” The letter added: “With a total budget of $10 million, the co-host is expected to contribute a minimum of $2.5 million (two million five hundred thousand USD).”
At the bottom of the letter, minuted by hand and signed by then Governor Jonathan’s aides aswell as the Bayelsa State accountant general are the words,“Release N150,000,000.00 (One hundred and fifty million naira) only to be drawn from the povertyalleviation subhead.”
One source told SaharaReporters that Mr. Obaigbena sent similar letters to other south-south states.
SaharaReporters could not ascertain how much of the released funds was paid directly to performers at the festival. There is no indication that Beyonce, one of the few entertainment stars internationally famous enough to only need one name, was aware that her performance was being subsidized by the poor people of Bayelsa. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/revealed-how-then-governor-goodluck-jonathan-gave-obaigbena-1-million-bayelsa%E2%80%99s-poverty-al Read full story here

DailyNews: Guys, the poster wanted a serious answer n u guys are busy making jest of her, that's not fair pls.

@cdamsel, if u are serious about ur decision to stop pre-marital se.x n u needed a good answer, u shud have posted this on religion section, but maybe u don't want a religious counsel, so try this.

Quit any canal relationship u are into right now if the guy refuses to embark on this journey of no-sex till marriage with u. If u succeed in convincing him, all thanks to God, if u cudnt, quit n face ur mandate.

The next step is to set a target for urself. Start small, maybe one month, 2 months, 3months, 4, 6, 1year, etc while waiting hopefully for ur legal husband.

Of course since u are sexually active, d urge will always come, subdue it with another passion which u need to develop. Ur passion for nairaland frm indication can help u. Game will also do. A dire desire to achieve another set goal- like being at d top of ur career or academics can also help u cos u will be so engrossed in it to even find pleasure in sex.

But the most effective way to flee from canal desire n indulgence is honest and cheerful acceptance of Jesus Christ in ur daily life n constant meditation and reading of the Holy Bible, try it. I wish u d best n pray u achieve this aim cos its highly commendablesmiley
Nice post! One best way is not to start at all, because from what i have had it just a matter of time. Give the above a try but you need determination and stay away from party and alcohol.

Justcash: All of you that are blaming GEJ for this one are very daft. He is refurbishing the rail system. Is it not the duty of the masses to guard and ensure that these infrastructures are operated efficiently? The people that are to blame for this rot are;
A. The masses that prefer to hang like monkeys on top of the coaches instead of sitting like decent people inside.
B. The inefficiency of the masses that got employed after these trains were brought back to life.
C. The illiterate masses that cannot just be patient on order for the coaches to be operated within its capacity.
D. The preference of the masses for short cuts even if it implies indulging in corrupt practices.
E. The chaotic orientation of the Nigerian masses.
F. The Spineless masses that cannot exercise their civic rights by demanding for orderly conduct through legal means.

Everything is not about the FG. You will just be surprised at the kind of criticism and antagonism that will come from the masses following any plan by the FG to restore order through coercion. Nonsense.

igbsam: I foresee trouble days ahead and it will be as a result of which group takes so so and so slots. Right now it might look so good. But Nigerians are always greedy. One party would want to rule over the other. Take for instance. ACN would claim they are the bigger part of the joined parties with a contending CPC claiming that too. APGA definately is the baby and lowest rank of the group, so they would settle for less. But its a good thing sha they merged. I hope they all agreed and signed a written agreement so tomorrow, ACN faction no go talk say na dem go bring out presidential candidate and CPC would oblige.
In every union like this one there must be a MOU, there won't be such a problem. Even the PDP is there no power strugle? To me its a welcome development.

you can't continue hnd without your IT letter, and IT letter can only be given to you by the company were you did it. As for the school fee, it varies but some things to note are: it is payed per semester, and if you are a non indigen your fee is slitly bigger. So until you resume no one can say exactly what will be payed for that semester.
