einstein destroyed a ton of his own work by refusing to incorporate the big bang theory into it. he did this becuase it was theorized by a catholic priest and is evidence of a first cause, a creation event. the running theory at this time among atheist academia was that the universe was just always here, eternal and uncreated, ie they literally just replaced god with the universe itself. this atheistic hubris caused him to render a shocking amount of his work worthless.
