There is no point in discussing anything with you. "Science determined
this 3,000 years ago" [there was science 3000 years ago?] ... "were not
one whit smarter today than we were 20,000 years ago" [accumulated
knowledge is irrelevant?] ... "such a thing as time...Others knew
better, tens of thousands of years ago I suspect." [Pretty hard to
create the equations of special relativity without time, isn't it?] ...
"happiness IS more important than truth" [Well, that makes it pretty
strange for you to be calling yourself an intellectual, then.] ... "Our
purpose in life is to create and live out our greatest desires" [Man,
that's a heck of a guide to behavior! Tell a kid "do what you want"?]
... "I see more and more of these moronic quotes attributed to
Russell as the years go by." [Ever try doing a web search?] ...
"Einstein knew nothing of religion, philosophy, or esoteric matters.
Hes about the dumbest person to quote on the subject." [I guess his
logical skills and profound send of spirituality are irrelevant to
religion and philosophy?]. "On an on and on." [Yup!]
