I doubt his religion played any part in creating his theories.

In a way it did. He fervently believed in a steady state universe and
created a 'cosmological constant' (fudge factor) to make his

work.

I don't know if his belief derived from Judaism but it was strong
enough
to ignore what his math was telling him.

Don't need religion to do that. Just the intelligence to know that
the
maths isn't quite right.

Well, that point went over your head at 30,000 feet and climbing...

Then get better at explaining.

I don't write Monty Python scripts. You miss it, you miss it. That seems
to be par for British humor. Take a mildly amusing gag and beat it to
death until the dumbest Scot finally gets the joke.

I understood every Monty Python joke. You must have told it wrong.


You should; they repeat the gag over and over. I might retell a George
Carlin joke but Monty Python never. The only comparison was Benny Hill
who could beat a good joke to death with the best of them.
