Einstein desperately wanted to prove God Created the Universe. He tried for 30 years to prove it, but could not. He tried to see the perfect "fingerprint" of God but what he found was chaos and chance happenstance. Where is God's "Perfect Order"?

God's perfect order does not exist because god does not exist. Science has already proven it but most of the world is still locked in a theocratic cage. Many people spend their lives trying to prove that god exists because they cannot just accept that we arose out of chance and that our existance means nothing. The universe itsself means nothing but thats a rant for a later date.

To be as simple as possible, he ws looking for a perfect fingerprint in an imperfect world. We cant go back far enough to see how it was when the world was perfect, but we can see God's "finger" in all that is around us. God has made what is around us simple enough to discover, yet complex enough that we cant truely duplicate it. DNA, body organs, cell function, "nature" around us. As an exampe, blood clotting is an 18 step process. Why so complex? "Nature" takes the course of least resistance!! Sinple yet complex. Chaos is a consequence of spiritual implications The illusion of chance happenstance is because we cant see beyond the circumstance until we look back and see there is a reason for it. Again it is of spiritual implications. Suffice it to say, we must look at the entire picture, from past to future to see things clearly.

You are misinformed... Einstein did no such thing. He was an atheist. He used the word 'god' commonly in his speech... but only because he was addressing common people, and it saved him a lot of explanation, which he found tedious. Any way.... here's what he REALLY thought about God:
"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 (universe) so far as our science can reveal it." ~ Albert Einstein

On the contrary, Einstein didn't try to prove God, and thus didn't fail. He wanted to study the universe the way it was, and everywhere he looked he saw the "fingerprint" of God. He didn't believe in the Christian God, per se, but he saw God everywhere he looked.

For his security's sake, man requires order. Perhaps God does not. Maybe Gods idea of "Perfect Order"- is Change. Einstein might've been staring his "proof" right in the face all along...

Einstein actually did NOT try to prove that God created the universe. Your statement is wholely incorrect.
"Our situation on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here involuntary and uninvited for a short stay, without knowing the whys and the wherefore. In our daily lives we only feel that man is here for the sake of others, for those whom we love and for many other beings whose fate is connected with our own." ... "The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as all serious endeavour in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious. To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt humbly to grasp with my mind a mere image of the lofty structure of all that there is."

Einstein's story is a classic case of how faith causes stupidity. Perhaps the dumbest thing he ever said was "god doesn't play dice with the universe" - a statement made because of his faith in an ordered universe, rathar than based on reason.
I'm willing to let it slide though.

So who did Einstein say created the Universe?

God does not play dice with the universe. He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant 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.
I'm still hopeful about a unified field theory, but it won't mean there's a God.

Many Christians will not accept what I am about to say.
If I throw an infinite number of pennies in the air, and examine their positions on the ground, I will find many instances of order. In many places, three pennies will be stacked on one another.
Because the human mind can not deal with infinity, we seek that with which we can deal............order. We categorize everything and we call it science.
But God did not create order. We simply pick out the seemingly ordered pieces of infinity. God created infinity, and to the human mind that is chaos. We cannot map it to the ordered processes of our brains.
