einstein said that it was in the news a couple of days back and surely they can't misquote

dirt
liking a literature does'nt mean that u embrace the religion
he might have incorporated the ideas into his life without being converted
hinduism actually does'nt support FORCIBLE CONVERSIONS

if one of the greatest mind of our times could actually appreciate one of the most important text in hinduism, it just means that there's something substantial to the text itself. so ppl just shouldn't write of hinduism as a pagan religion or some religion that isn't as philosiphical as others.if ppl don't understand the religion its better for them to just keep quiet. i suggest to the readers that they read thru the geetha to see for themselves the validity of einstein's statement. n u don't need to stamp urself as a hindu on the forehead to do that.

He must have said that early on in his life because Hinduism does not believe the universe had a beginning. Hinduism is pantheism. Pantheist believe in an eternal universe. Einstein himself proved in his mathematical equations when working on his theories of relativity and special relativity that the universe had a beginning and is not eternal, long before Edwin Hubble(in 1929) and Penzias and Wilson(in 1965) put the finishing touches on that proof. It was when Einstein first discovered that the universe had a beginning that he became a theist. He must have said that before he proved that the universe had a beginning because at that time he did believe the universe was eternal.

Einstein said nothing of the sort. He also stated that he was neither an atheist nor a pantheist. But where would this be going ? Scientific genius means nothing to God or for the comprehension thereof. The wisdom of men is foolishness to God.

Einstein said a lot of things. I am not sure if your quote was one of them.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
Albert Einstein

No, because you're probably misquoting Einstein. Also you're falling for the logical fallacy appeal to authority.

Einstein never said that.

No because Einstein wasn't God he just had an opinion. xx

No. Let each decide for himself. One opinion means very little.

you make no sense.
But it sounds like it could have been interesting.
edit: why do so many of these answers have (MORE THAN ONE) thumbs down? I am truly baffled.
