I'm not disregarding any of the quotes from the two, but one of Einstein's most famous theories was that energy can not be created or destroyed, thus we exist beyond this plane.

I suggest you look on the internet or some where to see who Hal Linsey is. Just as you made me look up what a "meme" was. =)

Now, now.. avalanche, you're making assumptions about me personally. If I'm shown cold hard facts (and me without question) then I will most defiantly believe, whatever fact that is shown to me. I'm not dead set on anything but fact. BUT! If it has not been proven wrong.. then I'm still with it.
