Yeah sorry I STRONGLY disagree with you. That’s B.S. from the Atheist who misquote Einstein. Imagine that???
I read a book that said ONLY in a very short period of his life did Einstein did not believe in a God. As matter of fact he would get upset with Atheist that misquote him about God.
Here are some quotes from Einstein about Atheist.
“In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support for such views.”
LOL! The above quote is so true. At one small point in Einstein’s life he had a brief period where he was not sure. This is what the Atheist love to quote. In reality Einstein pretty much most of his life had no doubt about God’s existence.
Here is another quote from Einstein about Atheist.
“Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is the same as that of the religious fanatics, and it springs from the same source … They are creatures who can’t hear the music of the spheres.”
One more quote from Einstein about Atheist.
“What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos.”
Here are some more famous Einstein quotes about God.
“I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?”
“We know nothing about [God, the world] at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. Possibly we shall know a little more than we do now. but the real nature of things, that we shall never know, never.”
I don’t know what book you read to give you such a distorted view of Einstein’s Theology, but you’ve got it deeply wrong. While it’s true that Einstein frequently used the word “God” in his writings and talks, it’s also completely clear from reading him that he’s absolutely not referring to a personal, conscious God.
To Einstein, God was the fundamental principles of the universe, the structure of the cosmos and the laws which underpin physical reality. He was smart enough to recognize that our understanding of those principles was sketchy and imperfect at best, hence his ‘utter humility’ at the majesty of those principles and his assertion that our ‘knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren’.
It’s completely true that he was not a militant Atheist and there are several quotes of his where he distances himself from them, but at no point in his life did he ever make any statements indicating he believed in a personal God who actively involved Himself in the lives of people, answered prayers or experienced any kind of consciousness. If you’d actually read Einstein instead of just a book about him, you’d know that.
