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

Re: Einstein letter says Bible is "childish"

That was a very interesting story. Einstein really does share alot of my spiritual views. That there is a higher power, a spritual force behind everything that created the laws of the universe, etc... and also that organized religions are a little silly.

I also loved his point that he didn't feel the Jews or anyone else are "God's people", that instead all people are equal. And what a great quote on science and religion, nice to see someone realizing they aren't mutually exclusive.

What a brilliant man.

Yeah, like they said in the article, he seems to be a little quirky about his religious views. I guess when you're that smart you're a little quirky in general.
