... from the point of view of the apostle Paul, would have been an opponent rather than a partner. No question.

As to Einstein's attitude toward Jesus, have you seen these quotes? From Einstein's paradigm, as opposed to Paul's, Einstein would have been the friend of God and of Jesus. (In fact Einstein believed that he, and people like him, were "the only truly religious" people! So he'd have considered you and me to be opponents of God.)
Needless to say, DaddyO, you and I have another belief as to whether Einstein was right about that.

In C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity, as well as in Acts 17 :- ) the speakers (Lewis and Paul respectively) spent the first halves of their talks discussing Creation from their audience's assumptions, rather than from scripture.
You and I would have one discussion about Tebow; you and I conversing in a general audience have another discussion.
This discussion limits itself to the question, "When we see a human being -- perhaps a South Sea native in a loincloth -- kneel down and pray for rain, and it immediately begins raining, what do we make of that?"
Good stuff DaddyO.
