I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details.
Albert Einstein
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
Albert Einstein
God always takes the simplest way.
Albert Einstein
God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.
Albert Einstein
God does not play dice.
Albert Einstein
That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
Albert Einstein
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Albert Einstein
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein
Einstein was master of the soundbite before there was such a thing as a soundbite.
From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our being.
Out of context quote. This was said with respoect to Einsteins view's of quantum mechanics at the time. He did not like the idea of a physical phenomenon being described in a probabilistic sense, nor did he like the Hiesenberg Uncertainty Principle. This had nothing to do with debates about evolution.
You missed a few:
"Thus I came--despite the fact I was the son of entirely irreligious parents--to a deep religiosity, which, however, found an abrupt ending at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic [orgy of] freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived."
"From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one.

God does not play dice.
Albert Einstein
Shows Einstein's understanding of the world was not always preminent. He could not comprehend or even accept what is truly observed in the study of quantum physics.
Each idea should be judged on its own merits, without regard to who articulates it, be it Einstein or Moses.
Well maybe not, but mother Nature certainly does. Quantum mechanics is a successful theory.
By the way, the version I have of that particular Einstein quote indicates your version has been 'simplified' for the masses. Mine has it as:
"Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice."
The actual quote is more opaque and subtle, no? I've seen other versions that have it as: "...doesn't play dice with the universe."
It would be a nontrivial project to track down what he actually said. One possibility is that Albert himself recognized it as a good 'money quote' and used it more than once - with subtle variations.
