Just heard the supposed quote today in Relief Society. I was very interested and so googled it. I would have been amazed to find out that it was true.

I heard the rumor as “…when asked who was the smartest man on earth, he replied Talmage”.

So lets see if we can work up a good argument here about the mode and manner of something that probably wasn’t said anyway.

And why would Einstein say that someone he had never met was the most intelligent person he EVER MET?

While this is a well written article, it does not address the central question.

The quetion is about something Einstein -said-, not who he met.

[...] Talmage smarter than Einstein – Heard the one where someone asks Talmage what it feels like to be the smartest man alive and he quips, "I don't know. Ask James E. Talmage?" Unverifiable at best, and very likely false. [...]

“Seth, darling, TBMs are not retarded, just a but confused and uber-credulous.”

I fail to see any distinction in that statement Matt. My point was that you show a great deal of contempt for people who honestly believe in Mormonism. You assume that no one could possibly believe all that stuff and still be an intelligent person.

Very juvenile approach to a group of people Matt. Hopefully you’ll grow out of it eventually and learn to treat human beings with a bit of respect.

Again Matt, I’m a “TBM.” Does that make me incapable of spotting a bogus chain email story?

Seth, darling, TBMs are not retarded, just a but confused and uber-credulous. Unlike the retarded, many have shown that it’s possible to cease being an TBM. A good place to start is being equally critical of the official and unofficial.

Cheers.

“TBM” Matt.

Meaning alternatively “True Believing Mormon” or “True Blue Mormon.” Both of which could easily describe me.

And apparently, to you, it’s a synonym for “retard.”

Love you too.

Sorry, Seth. Who is “us”? And what do you think a Snopes article of 1820 or so on the claims of Mormon missionaries look like? I mean, it wouldn’t really be snipes if it only called bull on the unofficial claims.

“As usual, snopes is only good as a ref for those who lean towards skepticism â€¦ aka, not TBMs.”

Yeah, that’s us. The dumb hicks.
