What god did Einstein believe in, anyway?
Einstein “was a pantheist who maintained certain Jewish traditions,” and he preferred to be called an agnostic and disliked militant atheists.
"I want to know God’s thoughts,” Albert Einstein once said. “The rest are mere details.” True quote. But what did Einstein mean by “God”?
He was raised a Jew, and likely believed in the God of Abraham . . . at least for a while. So folk like to claim him as one of their “own.” But then, so do atheists.
In truth, Einstein was likely at neither extreme, according to this new article at Big Think. The article cites a 1936 letter a sixth-grade girl wrote to Einstein, asking, “Do scientists pray, and what do they pray for?”
In his reply, Einstein wrote, “Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.”
Scholars generally agree that the theoretical physicist was an actual pantheist, believing that God is “in everything,” or that all is “at one with God.” In particular, as Einstein once told a rabbi, “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”
Big Think concludes that Einstein “was a pantheist who maintained certain Jewish traditions,” and that he “preferred to be called an agnostic and disliked militant atheists.
What god did Einstein believe in, anyway?
Einstein believed in the unseen—like gravitational waves, ripples in space and time. Now, we can see this, as shown by the 2017 Nobel Prize physics winners.bigthink.com
Agreed, these ultimately become philosophical questions, not scientific questions, because they most likely cannot be answered by the scientific method.Agreed on all points. We can speculate on causes and theories about supernatural phenomena, but the facts remain that we can only know (at this point) what exists within our natural universe.

no they don't.
matter and energy behaving relatively consistently is not a miracle or evidence of a creator god.
The last science class you had was ninth grade, and at that educational level you are taught about the regularity and intelligibility of nature by rote memorization. You wouldn't have been encouraged to ask the deeper questions about why the universe should even be lawful, rational, and intelligible in the first place.
matter and energy behaving relatively consistently is not a miracle or evidence of a creator god, your elitism aside.
At present, correct. Quantum physics is well above my knowledge base, but seems to be looking deep into the structure of the Universe and, perhaps, beyond it.
You don't have the education level to even conceive of or frame the deeper questions.
how did you determine that random chance is the least likely explanation?
Freaky Freddie lacks the rationality to learn. It's one reason why he's such a great patsy for his militia and a lackey for his globalist Orange King.
Good analogy to Mathew
Not with our current level of tech. It was only 120 years ago that people said "Man will never fly" and even fewer years when they said "Man will never go to the Moon".Good analogy to Mathew
The quantum framework is arguably the best science humanity has ever done. But even then, quantum physics tells us nothing about the cause, origin, and purpose (if any) of physical reality and the cosmos.
The only idea we have that is a viable theory of everything is string theory. And that won't be testable for centuries, if ever. String theory still doesn't answer the fundamental questions about "why?"
Many scientists I've listened to say there are mysteries we will likely never have scientific answers to: the cause and origin of the universe, the origin of life, why and how atomic matter attains conciousness.
how did you determine that random chance is the least likely explanation?
I didn't, Freddie. If you were saner and better educated, you'd understand my position.
Promise? Or are you lying like a globalist cocksucker again?
