An Agnostic? An atheist? Einstein did not believe in the Personal Pissed Off God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Einstein had a notion of cosmic order and he sometimes used the lexicon of the believer to express himself. I seriously doubt whether Einstein believed in life after death or Judgement Day. > > Maybe Einstein demonstrated "indirectly" God existence. > Why do science and faith do not talk each other? Because Science is based on fact, measurement and logic. Religion is based on fond hopes and faith that is maintained in spite of, rather than because of facts. Augustine said something like - I believe it because it is absurd. No scientist would say that. Bob Kolker
