==Question: Did Albert Einstein refer to Elder James E. Talmage as the smartest man he had ever met?==
===This is a myth: There is no evidence that Talmage and Einstein ever met===

Some claim that Elder James E. Talmage (a geologist and author of ''Jesus the Christ'') knew Albert Einstein, who called him the smartest man he had ever met.

There is no evidence that Talmage and Einstein ever met, much less that Einstein was aware of Talmage's work in geology (which was unrelated to Einstein's field of advanced theoretical physics).
