Yaşamış olan en büyük dehalardan biri olan Einstein'ın din ve Tanrı hakkında düşündükleri: (İngilizce'den Türkçe'ye çevirmek için uğraşamadım bu gece maalesef, artık başka bir zaman da tercümesini koyarım) Kendi din anlayışım ve hayat görüşümle ne denli çakıştığını görüp hayret ve hayranlık içinde okuduğum, bu haftaki Time dergisi'nde yer alan 'Einstein ve Tanrı' adındaki çok başarılı makaleden alıntılıyorum:
"I'm not an atheist. I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws."
"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I am a devoutly religious man."
Albert Einstein
