Brilliant physicist, amateurish theologian.

And the same can be said about Isaac Newton. At least Einstein wasted very littke time on theology.

Perhaps farther down in the thread someone has already posted that Isaac Newton was a very devout Christian.

I have read that faith was so important to Newton that it guided his standards for seeking the truth in natural philosophy and to establishing practical technique and fact for civilization.

Many deep philosophers and scientists are guided by a humble approach to understanding the universe in scientific terms, in bowing their head in reverence that their investigations lead along a pathway to truth, even a glimpse of truth that shadows that which no one can ever know completely.

I am convinced God is of a higher dimension that we simply cannot sense within our own dimensional confines. For if could prove the existence of God, if we could gather 'physical' evidence of God's existence, then we would be aware of the hyperdimension of God's existence, and with that awareness we could elevate ourselves to be equal to God, which is impossible.
