Wow! This thread is still in Active topics....Nice research Giordano, its interesting to see that Einstein's religious beliefs are such a widley discussed topic. I think I read somewhere when discussing God both atheists and believers want him in their camp.
I would agree with that, because I want him in my camp. But really everyone can have a different concept of God, because God has not directly revealed himself in a unifrom way, IMO. I think for me that is what Einstein's example says to me.
It's okay to believe in a God how we wish to, whatever way makes us happy, or not to believe at all. Like Giordano's post says, Einstein had different priorities....ethics....I have read he joined the UN, and campaigned for nuclear disarmament, I even read he was offered the post as Prime Mininster of Israel.
The critical outcome of this is it is a complete fallacy to even attempt to use Einstein and his beliefs as a basis for promoting clearly irrational and unscientific postulations.-K99
I would say if he were alive today, Einstein would agree with you. That is probably why he talked about his religious beliefs so much. We were doing this when he was alive and we will as humans continue to. Einstein is a role model, even though he clearly didn't want religious followers.
