Okay, go ahead. You have me a bit confused.

We don't need to argue over the use of the word irony. I have seen plenty of major spelling and grammatical errors throughout this thread and being a bit anal about the proper use of English, it's amazing I can keep my mouth shut. However, since you brought it up, the definition in Webster's is as follows: "Incongruity between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens." It was incongruous to my personal expectation: Therefore, "ironic."

As far as the beliefs of Einstein never being in contradiction with evolution, this is not true. I thought the quotation I posted was adequate to show this. However, let me remind you also of Einstein's Gulf. I know this website will make many of you cringe, but I would like to hear some comments about this article that I believe makes a good argument against evolution. The link is:
