"He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."

"Thus it seems Einstein was doubly wrong when he said, God does not play dice. Not only does God definitely play dice, but He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen."
-The Stephen Hawking lecture
Does God Play Dice?
FUN FACT - Albert Einstein's "dice" quotation has nothing to do with his belief in a personal god. Rather, it is a comment on the randomness inherent in the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics.

"Does he play dice?" I always thought He preferred dominoes. The kind where you start one falling over here, and several miles, (or Millenia) later, the last one falls.
