Why do Religious people constantly use Albert Einstein to justify their beliefs. Do you people not realize that Einstein did not believe in God. When Einstein said God, he was using the word God as a metaphor for the natural laws that govern the universe. This is a quote from Albert Einstein in 1954.
"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."

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)

A 'personal God' is different - he describes the beauty of the natural laws that govern the universe - God as intelligence and order, or God as consciousness - which if anything is a much higher order understanding of God. And why the heck isn't God a scientist? How many 'trial and error' species have their been? countless. What about the Dinasaurs? Tried, failed - well lets adjust, then try again. Just like a scientist.

Even when confronted with an Einstein quotation denying the existence of God, we still have Christians answering here to insist Einstein believed in their kind of God. Could it be Christians are more obsessed with authority figures, than with actual truth?

to comprehend the innovations of a guy, it facilitates to take heed to the phrases of the guy. the two between right here are properly everyday fees from Einstein: technological awareness is questioning God's innovations after He did. God does not play cube with the universe. From those, I comprehend Einstein believed God theory, and geared up the "regulations" of nature - such because of fact those we've not discovered yet.

Well hey, I don't believe in a personal God either, but I'm a religious person and I do believe in God (the Principle of the universe or something like that). What exactly is your point?

Isn't it unbelievable. You quote the words of the man in which he say "I do not believe in God" to which people reply "Einstein believed in God". I mean, what did the man have to turn - burn down churches, hunt down christians etc - before he would be believed.
Einstein was an atheist. He said so. His friends said so. Everyone he knew knew it. Face facts you who deny his words.

einstein was a devoted jew, he did beleive in god. one of his famous quotes even describe how he feels about god. Einstein was mostlikely deist. (beleive a god created the universe, and its been running ever sinece)
einstein is well known for having said 'God does not play dice'
what he meant to say is that quantum mechanics cant be true as it has a random effect in it, einstein beleive everything in the universe could be explained by reason.

I believe einstein was some sort of deist, that is why he didn't believe in a knowable, personal God, but he believed that a Creator set the universe in motion.

A. Jews believe in God
B. Albert Einstein was a Jew
C. Therefore "Old Albert, my friend" was a believer in God. Enough said. God bless, whether you believe, or not.

because christians don't believe in the "real" world. The bible has trained them to not be "worldy" for one.
This makes them not want to learn about it, thusly use incorrect information because they don't know better.
I believe in the structure Einstein mentions. And I think string theroy could shed some intense light on "god"
