A little thing about Einstein

I’m gonna tell you about Einstein; and peoples are mistakenly thinking about his religious view.
First, you would think that he is religious –precisely he believes in God— because of his famous quote “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”.

I was.
Einstein sometimes invoked the name of God, inviting misunderstanding by supernaturalist eager to misunderstand and claim so illustrious a thinker as their own. Then it has led people to believe, mistakenly of course, that Einstein as a religious man.

And Einstein also said “it was, of course, a lie without read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”

But it doesn’t mean that Einstein contradict himself. His word is a bit tricky. By ‘religion’ Einstein meant something entirely different from its conventionally meant.

Here are some more quotations from Einstein that would your paradigm about him, to give a flavor of Einsteinian religion

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is somewhat a new kind of religion

I have never imputed to nature a purpose or goal, or anything that could be understood as anthropomorphic. What I see in nature is a magnificent that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do without mysticism.

And he also said, God doesn’t play a dice
It should be translated like this “randomness does not lie at the heart of all things”

Did God have a choice in creating universe? “could universe have begun in any other way?”

Einstein was using God in a purely metaphorical, poetic science.

Ah ya, I heard some gossips that Einstein was admitted that he believe in God in the end of his life. All I know, he was at the hospital in Princeton. Before he dead, he said something in germany to the nurse –and she doesn’t speak German. It may be “I do believe in God blablabla” or “oh forgot to take the laundry”

No one knows

So what do you think?


I have no purpose writing this. I just don’t like to see any misconception around me. That’s it

Have a nice day!
