Did Einstien believe in god?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

einstien, the guy who lived next door? Yeah, I think so.

Albert Einstein had the following to say:
"I came — though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents — to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve."

"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"

Answer 3

Einstien was too educated to believe in God, he claimed himself an Atheist.

Answer 4

No.

"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."
-- Einstein

Answer 5

Not the way you think of god.

Top Right corner are some of his quotes on it.

He also said "god does not play dice with the universe" but his meaning was that nature is not random. If you read on a few more sentences you can see how out of context that quote is on its own.

Answer 6

i do not imagine Einstein surely count on God yet used the conception of God as a metaphor to describe nature. Plus inspite of if he did that would not propose I surely ought to trust what he did. P.S. i do not imagine Einstein knew that a lot about evolution, because he wasn't a biologists

Answer 7

Einstein discovered how God created the Universe but may have lost the truth in worshipping himself for finding it.

Answer 8

No, when he used the term “god” he meant it metaphorically. Later, he explained himself and said “I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.”

Answer 9

I really don't understand why it matters what Einstein believed. I won't change my faith over the opinion of one man and no one else should either.

May God Bless you.

Answer 10

No, he did not.

"I am a deeply religious non-believer. This is a somewhat new kind of religion." -- Albert Einstein

It's also the type of religion I find myself proud to be part of... deeply spiritual and ritual without being burdened by issues such as faith or invoking a supernatural component.

Answer 11

No one can say what Einstein thought before he died. There is always the chance that he was saved before he died and wished that he had never shared some of his views; however, the following is from a Website listed under Source.

In his autobiographical notes (written at age 67) he says, "Thus I came--despite the fact that I was the son of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents--to a deep religiosity, which, however, found an abrupt ending at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true."

On the Stages of Religion: In an article entitled "Religion and Science," Einstein identifies three stages of religion:
a religion of fear (the primitive man’s religion),
a social or moral religion, and
a cosmic religious feeling (Einstein’s religion).

On a Personal God
"I do not believe in a personal God …."
"The man who is thoroughly convinced of the universal operation of the law of causation cannot for a moment entertain the idea of a being who interferes in the course of events--provided, of course, that he takes the hypothesis of causality really seriously. He has no use for the religion of fear and equally little for social or moral religion. A God who rewards and punishes is inconceivable to him for the simple reason that a man’s actions are determined by necessity, external and internal, so that in God’s eye he cannot be responsible, any more than an inanimate object is responsible for the motions it undergoes."
"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science."

On the Power of Prayer: "Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e., by a wish addressed to a supernatural Being."
On Souls and Immortality
"[T]he concept of a soul without a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning."
"I do not believe in immortality of the individual …."

On Science and Religion
Whereas science deals with questions of facts, religion deals with questions of goals and values. A conflict arises when either realm invades the other’s territory. "For example," he says, "a conflict arises when a religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the Bible. This means an intervention into the sphere of science; this is where the struggle of the Church against the doctrines of Galileo and Darwin belongs. On the other hand, representatives of science have often [tried] to arrive at fundamental judgments with respect to values and ends on the basis of scientific method, and in this way have set themselves in opposition to religion. These conflicts have all sprung from fatal errors."
The two realms are not entirely self-sufficient. Science needs religion, and religion needs science. As to the former need, he says, "[S]cience can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

On Buddha, Moses, and Jesus: In 1937, Einstein wrote, "What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the enquiring and constructive mind. What these blessed men have given us we must guard and try to keep alive with all our strength if humanity is not to lose its dignity, the security of its existence, and its joy in living."
