One must understand the time in which Einstein was making these comments. A man proclaiming to be a full blown Atheist in 1954 was practically unheard of. Furthermore his life as well as his future intellectual endeavors must have been on his mind when he made his comments about religion or lack of it, thus I think it is likely, were he in a more tolerant generation, he would have more readily stated his disbelief of god and religion. Please remember this is only my opinion although I do believe it to be an educated opinion.

I believe that we all at one point and time believe in God. I believe true Christians believe in God through thick and thin. I believe people who call themselves “Christian”, but just believe in God when its convienent. I believe that true christians are loved by God and that they will ultimately die in peace and inherit heaven. I believe Einstein was very secretive about his believes. Understanding that he could tarnish his historical figure with the wrong words. I don’t think that it is any of our business to judge the man. We will never know what he honestly believed. But God Bless and a very interesting comment.

God-Religion Discussable Scientifically

A. Re “God and Evolution Can Co-Exist, Scientist Insists”

http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/304.page#1124

- Is there/what is, in the quoted article, a definition of the article’s “god” ?

- Specifically, is the article’s “god” defined as a human artifact, or not ?
Repeating, with sincere respect:

If “god” is not defined/understood to be a human artifact, its concept is a human virtual reality artifact experienced only through sensory stimuli, and “god-science” is not scientifically discussable. Furthermore, in this case preoccupation with this subject within a scientific frameworks contributes to corrosion and corruption of science and scientism by manifesting or implying acceptance of virtual reality as reality.

Everything is discussable scientifically. No limit. But for scientific discussion the framework must be clearly defined. The totality of subjects that come under the classification “virtual” are not an exception. You can include in the discussion Pavlov and the modes and manners of exploiting virtuality in many areas and towards many ends…

C. It’s The AAAS That Promotes Religion In Science And In Law

The AAAS and its affiliates and equivalent organizations, i.e. all the Science Establishment Guilds, loudly and pseudoscientifically promote and “profoundly respect” the “spiritual religious domain” as A REAL domain, a domain separate from the REAL, science, domain. They do this both because, unbelievably, they actually believe it and as a politically powerful tool in promoting their power and state-public support.

this is somewhat controversial evidence of einstein especially because he was a Jew by birth but i found it fascinating to know what an extraordinary man like him though about God’s existence.

You missed the quote from when Einstein was forced to speak out against those who were using his god quotes to imply that he believed in god. I reitterate it now on his behalf;

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
~ Albert Einstein, 1954, from "Albert Einstein: The Human Side", edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press.

P.S: and please dont think that this is religion versus science, because there are so many scientists who are known to be believers of God. Not all scientists are atheists, and not all religious people are skeptics of science.

Hi ParadoxHarbinger. At the moment you're old and about to die, call me or send me an email and confirm if you still hold the same beliefs you stated above.

It seems like you are supposing that Im totally ignorant about the theory of evolution. Funny, I've read and studied all kinds of stuff written and propounded by atheist scientists, and I've met hundreds of atheists, some of whom are even my closest friends (somehow we have learned to respect each other's beliefs and it seems you're INCAPABLE of doing that. Oh, maybe evolution will gradually change you someday).

How about you? Do you have enough knowledge about religion? The Bible? Because unless you do, you are not in a position to comment on religion, acting as if you're the legitimate authority.

He states “religion” not God in his quote. Religious can be an attitude of faith,believe, following,etc. One can be religious towards their agnosticism, atheism,politics, ad infinitum. it also can mean zealot in some cases. pretty much sounded like he was a Deist, to me. But then again it’s all supposition.
