A letter being auctioned in London this week adds more fuel to the long-simmering debate about the Nobel prize-winning physicist's religious views. In the note, written the year before his death, Einstein dismissed the idea of God as the product of human weakness and the Bible as "pretty childish." Full article...
The letter includes the following quotes: "the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish" and "For me, the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions".
So, what do you think of that?! The greatest mind to have ever lived "supposedly" denied faith in a Creator and called the Bible a bunch of rubbish in a note before he died. Now, my opinion is only that; my opinion. But, how can someone that changed the world with his discoveries and his unraveling of the mysteries of the universe with his theory of relativity could possibly come to that conclusion. He practically saw God face to face. Is the letter being auctioned legit? Who will ever know...
