I listen to Einstein for physics advice, not life advice. He did divorce his wife to marry his cousin you know. And he never stated his belief in one God. I have no problem admitting that a supernatural power may have made all this, if you can admit that maybe it is not your God.
BTW- my dad was declared clinically dead and didn't see anything and he was a devout Catholic. I have more faith in my father's recollections.

"This is for the atheist, why everything exists?? Isn't it because for a reason, right?"

Who said there had to be a reason? The purpose of life in general is to reproduce, nothing more. The purpose of your specific life is whatever you decide it should be.

"if everything has not been existed through a supernatural power that comes from the Supernatural Being, there should be no purpose in every existence. There has been a CREATOR that made everything that exists and created for a reason or purpose."

What created the Creator? If nothing created him then why do we need a Creator? Also, what was this Creator's purpose if nothing created it? Apparently, according to you, anything created must have a purpose and anything without a Creator is purposeless so a Creator that wasn't created would have no purpose and, by your reasoning, shouldn't exist.

"Had the Big bang theory or any theories proven their ideas?"

Yes, they have. Quite well in fact. That's how they got to the status of a theory. Granted, new discoveries could invalidate the current models we have but they'd be corrected to incorporate the new data.

"if you don't believe in God, you believe that death is the end of everything?"

I see no reason to think otherwise. Not all atheists will agree with that though. A disbelief in gods does not automatically rule out continued existence in some form after death. I'm open to the possibility but, like I said, I see no reason to think that's what happens.

"Didn't you know that Einstein believed that there is God?"

Einstein himself said that he didn't believe in a personal deity. At best he'd be a deist, though he probably considered nature to be "God" so he would've been more accurately described as a pantheist. Besides that, this is a fallacy called Appeal to Authority and it's flawed logic. Just because someone admired or considered extremely intelligent believes something does not make it correct. Particularly when the authority or expert is speaking of something outside their field of expertise.

"He said, "God doesn't play dice."

And he was speaking about Quantum Mechanics and the very strange things the field was saying happened. He was not speaking literally about "God" but rather the properties of the universe, i.e. nature.

"He believed that everything made for a purpose and not just for nothing."

Quote him saying that.

"isn't God great?"

I wouldn't know. I've never met one.

"there was an atheist that turned to God because she reached heaven in her vision."

And? First, it's subjective evidence that only convinces the one that experienced it or the already convinced. It can neither be examined, quantified or studied in any way so it is, essentially, meaningless. Second, there are any number of rational reasons for visions and many people from many different religions all experience such things and they all see exactly what their religion tells them they'll see.

"Then, she can't believe that she said a verse in the Bible that she never ever knew and read it in the Book, it says, "Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life."

This supposed atheist of yours had never heard that verse before in their entire life? Which rock were they living under? It's one of the pinnacle verses of Christianity. Not to mention that the Bible says a lot of things that are incorrect; how do you know this verse isn't?

Let's suppose we grant to you for the sake of argument that the universe was created, and was even created for a purpose. Do you realize that proves nothing about the Christian world view? I claim that even if there is a creator, the Bible (especially the Old Testament, on which the New Testament depends) is clearly still myth, and probably has no descriptive power in telling us anything about the true creator. This stance is much more consistent with what Einstein actually said about his beliefs than what you are saying.

The human brain has evolved to seek explanations for every phenomena. We expect intelligent causes even when there are none. Your insistence that there must be a "reason" for everything is just wishful thinking.

actually albert einstein was NOT a religious man

Albert Einstein

"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 religion than it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism."

"I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it."

"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."

-Albert Einstein, German-born American physicist

Atheists all have only 1 element in easy - there is not any god. As to 'each and every thing happens for reason'? It relies upon what you advise via 'reason'. > in case you advise that there is a few sort of clever organiser / fixer guiding our lives, then it is obtrusive BS, the information for which i've got not got the time or potential to problem with now and that i think which you're no longer quite involved. > in case you advise that each and anybody is subject to reason and effect, then sure, no longer something is outdoors the casual nexus. besides the undeniable fact that, via commentary of the approach we can and do exchange the automated effect. As for reasoning being suited or incorrect, it is cost impartial. it is basically a technique device. it is the effect it is authentic or errored.

Why sir does the universe need a reason for existence. What Einstein did or didn't believe is irrelevant. He was a very intelligent man, and I've heard both atheists and theists claim him. His opinion is only one, and to me no more important than my own. We're talking about a supposed supernatural entity. There is absolutely no proof of one. None, zip, nada.

(Atheist here)
Yes, Einstein did believe in Him. He even calculated the "God Factor" in his relativity theory. Problem? Both equations with or without the factor worked. So, back to square One: does God exist?

I HOPE he does, but I don't have FAITH. It's not the same thing. That means if God does exist, no one's been able to prove it (and God's not exactly helping). Einstein believed the same thing.

By the way, Einstein did NOT believe in a personal God. When he said things about God and religion he was talking about something totally different than you do. You should read up on it.

They don't worship Einstein, Einstein.

Why is it so hard to accept that not everyone believes the way you do and it really doesn't matter.?

You best leave the bible out of these discussions because that book will cause you to lose credibility.

There is no god. Therefore no divine purpose. Einstein did NOT believe in a personal 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."
