Do you believe in Einstein's conception of god?

Question

"I believe in a Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists, but not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and actions of human beings"

"I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil"

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man...In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive"

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind"

"That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God"

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation "

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity"

Answer 1

Its a matter more of semantics than anything else. I am satisfied to call the laws of nature in the Universe exactly that. I have no need to try to anthropomorphise those laws.  

Answer 2

Of course I have to because that would be human nature. However that type of God is not comforting to most. It can't save us, keep things right, or do anything else

Answer 3

I believe in a lot of what he said. But not all.  

Answer 4

He was a bright man, but no one knows for sure what lies after death... He states that he cannot understand why a God would punish and reward his creations yet he also states that we, humans, are feeble minded to something so superior... So why even question God's intentions?

We can only imagine the reasoning behind God, Einstien understood that, and he also understood his idea of God was just as good as anybodies..

Answer 5

wrarw

Answer 6

Yes I do agree.

To Bula'ia Aratyme--- you are wrong. Spinoza's god was not nature he and Einstein were Pantheists. Einstein was possibly a Panentheist. Both fall into the category of Deism.

Answer 7

So many people quote Einstein on God, nobody really knows what he believed. Einstein seems to be of the mind that the universe is God without the belief that christians and other religions hold.No bible.  

Answer 8

If this was his belief when he died - the writings of the True God of heaven condemn him

I believe the writings of the True God of heaven

Answer 9

thats a really good belief, that is true never lose a holy curiosity.  

Answer 10

Geometry.

It's like pantheism.

I think Einstein was on the right track, and I think the Hindu people were too--although not literally!

  

Answer 11

Spinoza's God was nature.

Spinoza, Einstein, and many others were/are aware that there is nothing supernatural about the universe.

Answer 12

no.....GOD HAS ALREADY SAID that permanent death comes to those who reject Him....they wont mind if they dont love Him...cuz ETERnal life is with Him!!
