i found this through a link given to me by a christian today, and found it pretty interesting. even though i could count lots of very common fallacies within the first few paragraphs even.
theology of einstein (http://bible-truths.com/part5.htm)
here's the 1st paragraph:
Permit me to interject a little justifiable sarcasm, Dr. Kennedy. Dr. Einstein was recently named "The Person of the Century." Dr. Einstein studied the physical universe by means of laws (cause and effect), and attempted to explain these laws by mathematical equations. Never, to my knowledge, did Dr. Einstein ever discover something happening (an effect) in the universe that he was convinced HAD NO CAUSE (as in your human "free will")! If you could prove that human will, thoughts, desires, and actions are "free," that is, NOT caused or made to transpire, (thus contradicting physical science and the laws of the universe), you might well be in line for "Person of the Twenty First Century.
It's one or the other. There is no third alternative. Either the great almighty God is in control of everything, or He is out of control.
hmm.. a third springs to mind...
