The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religion." A quote by Albert Einstein!

Old Albert was overly fond of the poetical. Sorry, but he didn't believe in the supernatural or paranormal.
Also, whenever he referred to "God" he wasn't talking about the god of Abraham or any of the other 2000+ gods man has created. He was referring to the physical universe and all the wonders that it holds.

Everyone seems to want to appropriate Einstein to his own ideology. Well, you can have him, because I think he's overrated. I can name at least 20 scientists I value more than Einstein.

Interesting, but I rather think that Al was talking about the pursuit of knowledge...
