The insistence on E=mc² is partly motivated by a quest for a "grand unified theory," which has never been found despite the waste of billions of dollars and roughly a century looking for it.  If mass and energy were equivalent as E=mc² asserts, then there should be a theory that unifies gravitation and electromagnetic forces.  There isn't, and the [[Bible]] correctly predicts that there isn't.

:Actually, the idea of a "grand unified theory" didn't arise until about the 1950's, give or take a couple of decades.  Einsteins formula was published in 1905.<ref>[http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/www/ "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend its Energy Content?" Albert Einstein, Sept 1905]</ref>  The formula has nothing to do with gravity, and the canard of "mass-energy equivalence" is really a meaningless notion.  The equation simply says that potential energy has mass; nothing more.

Another motivation of E=mc² is to try to make the [[Theory of Relativity]] consistent with the principle of the conservation of energy, by pretending that mass gains or loses energy to make up for the energy discrepancy in Relativity.
