    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.

    Easy on, Everyone.

    For me, the correct answer to the question, "What is the true nature of the REALITY of existence?" is:

    I do not know...and any guesses I make are essentially little more than blind guesses.

    If I am being "honest"...I cannot logically assert that there is a GOD or gods involved. BUT...I also cannot logically assert that there are no gods...no GOD. Further, I cannot logically assert that it is more likely there are no gods than that there is at least one, just as I cannot logically assert that it is more likely that there is at least one GOD than that there are none.

    There may be things about the true nature of the REALITY of existence that make the notion of a GOD seem like a fair benign concept.

    Einstein, in my opinion, was correct. He asserts that he is agnostic on the question...and then offered an opinion about the issue...essentially offering some of his guesses.

    I hear the undertones in some posts here of..."There are no gods"...which of course, is as much a blind guess as, "There is a God."

    Very good collection on Einstein's opinion on religion. But it would be better if all these were combined in a single post

    Einstein was an intelligent and logical scientist. So like almost all people like that, he scrapped the silly concept of god, especially one that impacts the world. God just makes no sense at all. Thousands of years, total evidence for god, remains at zero.

    You are correct.

    Einstein said he was an Agnostic...that he did not share with others the "belief" (blind guess) that a God exists (he was pretty much talking about the Abrahamic God)...that he did not share the "belief" in any god that used punishment and reward for moral consequences.

    He acknowledged he could not logically conclude there are no gods.

    He was an Agnostic...or more specifically, he was agnostic on the question of whether gods exist or not.
