Einstein has several famous sayings. He said that "God does not play dice" and that "God is unpredictable but not malicious." When people asked him about his motivation for studying physics, he replied: "I want to know how God created the world. I want to understand God's thoughts. The rest are minutiae."
There are too many remarks about Einstein’s religion, theism, etc. on the Internet, leading atheists to simply believe that Einstein has no religious beliefs, while religious advocates believe that Einstein finally found a sense of belonging to God. , turning away from science and toward theology.
Einstein said this in response to atheists. "Even seeing the harmony of the universe that I, as a human mind, perceive, there are still those who say God does not exist. What makes me angry is that they quote me to support these views."
However, religious believers should not be complacent. Einstein also said this: "Everyone who explores scientific truth will increasingly believe in another spirit embodied in the laws of the universe, a spirit that far transcends the human soul. , confronting it with our little ability will only make us feel humble. In this way, the exploration of science will lead to a special kind of religious emotion, which is very different from the simple religious emotion in the past."
To sum up, it is. What Einstein believed in was not a personal God, but a truly pure God. This was his cosmic religion.
“I like a God who appears harmoniously in front of everyone, rather than a God who is always worried about people’s behavior and destiny.”
“I want to know how God created this world, I'm not interested in this or that phenomenon, this element or that element's spectrum. I just want to understand his thoughts, and everything else is minutiae." In other words, Einstein didn't care about those personal gods. , and does not care about the rules and regulations that restrict people. He cares about the thoughts embodied by God, that is, the natural laws hidden in the universe. He believes that such natural laws are pure God.
Such a statement may not convince religious believers. In fact, in his early years, he had already rejected authoritative religion.
As a great scientist, he even analyzed the causes of religion.
"The social impulse is another concrete source of religion. In the eyes of the believer, he will love and cherish the life of the tribe, human life, and even life itself; he will soothe sorrow and unfulfilled longings ; He will protect the souls of the dead, which is what we often call the moral concept."
"The development from a religion of fear to a religion of morality is a great progress in all types of religion. *The consubstantiation is that they all have an anthropomorphic God, but in all religions there is a third stage of religious experience, even if it is rarely found in its pure form: we call it cosmic religious emotion."
The most powerful and noble driving force in experiential scientific exploration of universe religion. Science without faith is shallow, and religion without science is blind.
The God in Einstein’s eyes is even more scientific.
