"The more I study science, the more I believe in God." Albert Einstein

I find that quote amazing coming from a genius/scientist.

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."

Albert Einstein

Difference between religious beliefs and religions of man is always confusing -- man-made religious structures, books, beliefs, et al., are not the same as ultimate reality. They may point towards it, but to hold our viewpoints as the only truth is just wrong, and the basis for fundementilist terror and violence, whether Muslim, Christian or Hindu.

Since we're quoting Einstein

He published a paper in Nature in 1940 entitled Science and Religion which gave his views on the subject.[55] In this he says that: "a person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings and aspirations to which he clings because of their super-personal value ... regardless of whether any attempt is made to unite this content with a Divine Being, for otherwise it would not be possible to count Buddha and Spinoza as religious personalities. Accordingly a religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt of the significance of those super-personal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation ... In this sense religion is the age-old endeavor of mankind to become clearly and completely conscious of these values and goals, and constantly to strengthen their effects." He argues that conflicts between science and religion "have all sprung from fatal errors." However "even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other" there are "strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies" ... "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind ... a legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist."

And for the record a "personal god" would be a god that is a personal being, a physical god that walked the earth like Apollo. The Christian God is impersonal.

Not trying to insinuate that Einstein was a religious man, only that he understood the connection and importance of Science and Religion.

with their god ? Guess I've misunderstood? Of course, some branches seem to believe that their God walked the earth -- especially the oldest Hebrew versions (always love those stories of Him getting lost, eating with people, etc.), and those that believe that Rabbi Jesus was devine from start, and of course the Mormons.

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men."
-- Albert Einstein

"We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality." Albert Einstein

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible." Author Unknown

Change has to be a GOOD change not a bad change. Obama would be bad change...Hillary would be worse.

today being an a-fric-an american has not much dogma attached to it, as it use to. being a far left socialist speaks volumes. lord help us, if either one of the far left gets elected. most isms are controlled at the end of a SK-47. exception being captialism, and conservatism. phonics are fun.

And he looks at you as the "white sucker" that is gonna vote him in! I think the guy is very eloquent and likable, but he has alot of "black sheets" in his back ground. That scares me.
