Einstein always said that he was a deeply
religious man, and his religion informed his
science. He
rejected the conventional image of God as a
personal being, concerned about our individual
lives,
judging us when we die, intervening in the
laws he himself had created to cause miracles,
answer
prayers and so on. Einstein did not believe
in a soul separate from the body, nor in an
afterlife of any
kind.
But he was certainly a pantheist. He did
regard the ordered cosmos with the same kind of
feeling that
believers have for their God. To some extent
this was a simple awe at the impenetrable mystery
of
sheer being. Einstein also had an urge to
lose individuality and to experience the universe
as a whole.
But he was also struck by the radiant beauty,
the harmony, the structure of the universe as it
was
accessible to reason and science. In
describing these factors he sometimes uses the
word God, and
sometimes refers to a divine reason, spirit
or intelligence. He never suggests that this
reason or spirit
transcends the world - so in that sense he is
a clear pantheist and not a panentheist. However,
this
reason is to some extent anthropomorphic, and
to some extent involves Einstein in a
contradiction.
His religious thinking was not systematic, so
he never ironed out this discrepancy. But it seems
likely
that he believed in a God who was identical
to the universe - similar to the God of Spinoza. A
God
whose rational nature was expressed in the
universe, or a God who was identified with the
universe and
its laws taken together. His own scientific
search for the laws of this universe was a deeply
religious
quest.
Einstein's attachment to what he once called
`the grandeur of reason incarnate' led him into
the longest
battle and the greatest failure of his life.
He was implacably opposed to Niels Bohr's
interpretation of
quantum physics. Bohr believed that matter
was fundamentally indeterminate, and our knowledge
of it
limited to probabilities.
Einstein's comment, "God does not play dice,"
became notorious. The phrase uses the present
tense,
not the past. This suggests that Einstein was
probably not referring to the fact that a creator
God would
not in the beginning have created a universe
in which chance reigned supreme. Rather he may
have
meant that as God or reason incarnate, the
universe could not be governed by chance alone.
Einstein believed till the last that quantum
physics was incomplete: he was sure that one day
an
explanation would be found which would
explain the causes of the apparent indeterminacy
and once
again make it plain that the universe was
governed by laws. So far this has not happened.

Ja otteita siis:
"To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?
"As a child I received instruction both in the
Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am
enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.
"
"Have you read Emil Ludwig's book on Jesus?"
"Emil Ludwig's Jesus is shallow. Jesus is too
colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however
artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a
bon mot."
"You accept the historical Jesus?"
"Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels
without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His
personality pulsates in every word. No myth is
filled with such life."8

"Science without religion is lame, religion without
science is blind."

Alpertti on todellinen tiedemies ja tietää mitä
ihmisen tulee elämässään kunnioittaa!
Einstein suhtautui jeesukseen historiallisena
henkilönä.
Olet näköjään uskovainen joka haluaa saada
Einsteinin vaikuttamaan kaltaiseltasi..
No etpä pääse muuttelemaan ainakaan tuota
aloitusteksiä huijari. Siellä juuri kerrotaan että
Einstein ei uskonut kuolemanjälkeiseen elämään
ym...
Mikä sä luulet olevasi väitelläksesi uskonnosta
itse Einsteinen kanssa?
Viisas seuraa neroa. Tyhmempi seuraa tyhmää...
Mitä kirjoituksesi oli tarkoitus osoittaa? Ateistit
ja pakanat eivät pidä Jeesusta historiallisena
eivätkä usko Jumalaan edes panteistisesti, mutta
yrittävät silti väittää, että Eistein oli ateisti?
Tyhmät vovat seurata neroa, mutta ei se imitoiminen
heistä neroa silti tee.
Katso sanakirjasta selitys sanalle "ateisti" ja
luokittele sitten vasta, kiitos.
Siinäpä sitä totuutta ihmiskunnan suurimman neron
kautta.
Tällaisen ihmisen ajatuksiin uskon mieluummin kuin
miljooniin pyhiä kirjoja rustailleisiin
hörhöihin kautta aikojen alun--->

Einstein oli pasifisti, vaikkakin se harmikseen
osallistui ydinaseen kehittelyyn. Toisaalta
ydinaseet loivat ns. "kauhun tasapainon", jota
ilman kommunistit olisivat varmaan jyränneet
kaiken sotakoneistollaan ja Hevoinenkin olisi nyt
gulagilla jauhamassa pa**aansa.
en tunne sielunsukulaisuutta einsteiniin paitsi
ehkä universaalilta ajattelulta ja siltä, että
yksi hänen lausahduksena on ollut ohjenuorana:
"mielikuvitus on tietoa tärkeämpää." kyllä vain.
