Did you know that Albert Einstein was an Atheist?

Answer 1

Yes I knew that but he always get misquoted be theists though.

Answer 2

Define Atheist?

"In developing the theory of relativity, Einstein realized that the equations led to the conclusion that the universe had a beginning. He didn't like the idea of a beginning, because he thought one would have to conclude that the universe was created by God. So, he added a cosmological constant to the equation to attempt to get rid of the beginning. He said this was one of the worst mistakes of his life. Of course, the results of Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding and had a beginning at some point in the past. So, Einstein became a deist - a believer in an impersonal creator God:

"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."

Answer 3

Yes, I did.
Did you know that Isaac Newton, Neils Bohr, Louis Pasteur, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger, Andreas Vesalius, Tycho Brahe, Max Planck, Enrico Fermi, Arthur Eddington, William Harvey, Carl Gauss, John von Neumann, Gregor Mendel, John Dalton, and Alexander Fleming were Christians?

Answer 4

He was jewish!
here are some of his quotes.

I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being. [Albert Einstein to Guy H. Raner Jr., Sept. 28, 1949, from article by Michael R. Gilmore in Skeptic magazine, Vol. 5, No. 2, 1997]

The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously. [Albert Einstein, letter to Hoffman and Dukas, 1946]

God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
Quoted in L Infeld Quest, 1942.

Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht.
God is subtle, but he is not malicious.
Inscribed in Fine Hall, Princeton University.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slightest details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds.
Quoted in Des MacHale, Wisdom (London, 2002).

Before God we are all equally wise - equally foolish.
Quoted in Des MacHale, Wisdom (London, 2002).

Albert Einstein
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Albert Einstein
Human beings can attain a worthy and harmonious life only if they are able to rid themselves, within the limits of human nature, of the striving for the wish fulfillment of material kinds. The goal is to raise the spiritual values of society.

Einstein was a very wise men in many areas but he failed in this the most important area of hsi studies in life. He tryed to apply his wisdom to understand God and came up short. God resist the proud.

Seems like alot of people are declaring this man a athiest yet that does not explain his constent reference to God. And it is actually known that he sought the wisdom of soloman thurout his life. Could you call him a athiest and be correct. Not really, he seems to be searching the depths of God his whole life. Hope he got the truth he was looking for.

Answer 5

He was not an atheist. Although not feeling comfortable with organised religions, he was interested in spirituality and believed in some supernatural force. A famous quote by him is :"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.".

Answer 6

Einstein actually never came away from his Jewish roots but he did lean towards marxism though.

Answer 7

He's claimed by the Atheists, the Unitarians and a few others.

What is certain is that he wasn't Christian.

Answer 8

I dont know if I believe that.......

Did God create everything that exists? Does evil exist? Did God create evil?

A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question. “Did God create everything that exists?”

A student bravely replied, “Yes he did!”

“God created everything?” The professor asked.

“Yes sir, he certainly did,” the student replied.

The professor answered, “If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil.”

The student became quiet and did not answer the professor’s hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, “May I ask you a question, professor?”

“Of course”, replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, “Professor,does cold exist?”

“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?”

The other students snickered at the young man’s question.

The young man replied, “In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F)is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We
have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.”

The student continued, “Professor, does darkness exist?”

The professor responded, “Of course it does.”

The student replied, “Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into man colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.”

Finally the young man asked the professor, “Sir, does evil exist?

Now uncertain, the professor responded, “Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man’s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.

To this the student replied, “Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light.”

The professor sat down.

The young man’s name — Albert Einstein
