Einstein Letter on God Sells for $404,000
By DENNIS OVERBYE
Published: May 17, 2008
From the grave, Albert Einstein poured gasoline
on the culture wars between science and religion
this week.
A letter the physicist wrote in 1954 to the
philosopher Eric Gutkind, in which he described
the Bible as “pretty childish” and scoffed at the
notion that the Jews could be a “chosen people,”
sold for $404,000 at an auction in London.
That was 25 times the presale estimate.

This is the group that hid out in a cave last fall to await the end of
the world in May of 2008. So here it is, May 2008, and they've
announced that they're giving up and coming out. Still, like a lot of
these doomsday cults, they did prove to have a lot of endurance: they
withstood cave-ins, floods, deaths (authorities reportedly removed two
"rotting corpses" from their caves), and disillusionment which caused
a lot of their members to bolt and leave before the expected date.
Of course, we knew this outcome was inevitable -- because their
predicted EOW date was TOO EARLY. The REAL end of the world is coming
this July 5th, at precisely 7:00 AM.
If any members of this Russian cult (who aren't in jail) want to come
by with us and await the arrival of the Escape Vessels of the Sex
Goddesses, then please do! It only costs you $30 American.

How Old Do Evolutionists Say the Universe Is? 1
In the late 1920s, evolutionists believed that the universe was 2
billion years (b.y.) old. Later, radiometric dating techniques gave
much older ages for certain rocks on Earth (1). Obviously, a part of
the universe cannot be older than the universe itself. This
contradiction was soon removed by devising a rationale for increasing
the age of the universe.
Similar problems are now widely acknowledged. If a big bang occurred,
it happened 13.7 b.y. ago. If stars evolved, some stars are 16 b.y.
old, such as the stars in the globular cluster called M13 (2).
Obviously, stars cannot be older than the universe. Also, the Hubble
Space Telescope has found distant galaxies whose age, based on big
bang assumptions, exceeds the age of the universe (3).
