	Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, Jeff.

	"They" (the westerners who chose to consider the palpable world
	visible to the senses as reality) got the idea from the ancient 
	Greek philosophers.  "They" then have continued to defend it
	against Judeo-Christian dogma right up until the present.  Include
	in "they", people like Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Priestley,
	and, yes indeedy, Einstein.

	Ol' Albert certainly had his religious beliefs, but he kept them
	far away from his physics; he trusted his mathematics over his
	theology.
