It has been taught by the vast majority of the founders of our American Universities that the only valid revelation from the Creator is the Old and New Testament.

I don't think it's possible to study science & nature without being moved by it. The Bible is an awesome book; but you can't convince me that the universe is not also a revelation of God. Nothing teaches man greater humility before the Infinite than to see his insignificant place in the midst of time and the cosmos.

It looks to me as if Einstein shared the same humility before God as you, even though his reasoning towards that end was different than yours.

I agree with what you are saying. I should have clarified my remarks by saying, "The Bible is the only Holy Book that is a valid revelation from God."

Thank you for making that distinction. Clearly I believe that God also reveals his ways through His creation; as my tag line indicates.

Ever delve into entanglement?
