"You are aware that Einstein did not believe in a personal deity or an afterlife, correct? "

yes he was a deist. Which is always a bit funny. Deists believe there is a God of sufficient power to create the entire universe but not have sufficient power or interest to be able to intervene in our daily lives.

The presence of the Holy Spirit in my soul tells me the truth of the matter. I do not need Einsetin for that.

I quote Einstein for the atheists who believe they have some sort of superior logical reasoning over us believers, when in fact it takes far more mental contortions and rationalizations to deny God than to accept God.

[BTW: I did not intend to use Einstein to support the Bible. If it came across that way then it was wrong.]

when in fact it takes far more mental contortions and rationalizations to deny God than to accept God.

To which "God", out of the thousands of deity constructs worshipped throughout human history do you refer, why would it take "mental contortions" to lack belief in that particular deity and not any others and why does it not require "mental contortions" to lack belief in all others?

Not quite. Deists believe God does not intervene in our daily lives. This does not mean he does not have the power to do so.

Deists believe there is a God of sufficient power to create the entire universe but not have sufficient power or interest to be able to intervene in our daily lives.

You could as easily say that creationists don't think God is powerful enough to build a universe that doesn't require constant tinkering to make it work.
