"God does not play dice." Albert Einstein Amusingly enough, this is the most thoroughly wrong prediction Einstein ever made. You are able to read these words because god throws dice at the strata junctions of diodes and transistors.

"God does not play dice." Albert Einstein

It doesn't really matter whether he was "wrong" regarding this quote, as it is most often tossed about to "prove" that Albert Einstein was a believer in God -- of course, those who use the quote negelct to consider that in all likelyhood Einstein did not believe in the God as described in the Old Testament (at least some of his own personal writings indicate as such).
Einstein was explaining why he did not accept quantum theory; he didn't believe that the "random" nature of quantum events was a part of how the universe works. Based upon existing evidence and research it appears that he was likely wrong about that.
