Albert Einstein Was An Atheist. by Workch: 1:03am On Jan 31, 2022 |
"I received your letter of June 10th. I have never talked to a Jesuit priest in my life and I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.” - Albert Einstein, letter to Guy H. Raner Jr, July 2, 1945, responding to a rumor that a Jesuit priest had caused Einstein to convert from atheism; quoted by Michael R. Gilmore in Skeptic, Vol. 5, No. 2 If one assumes that the man knew what he was then he may well have been an atheist, at least he was when he made the above statement. In other communication he calls religions, even his birthright of Judaism childish… “…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." He went on, "…the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions." So draw whatever conclusions you like… 2 Likes |

Most top scientists do not believe in God. The ones who believe in God do not believe in the personal god of the chrisitians and mooslems. 2 Likes |

Bro, Albert Einstein could literally have been the Pope or an Ayatollah for that matter and it would still not make the existence of God more likely. |
Re: Albert Einstein Was An Atheist. by paxonel(m): 5:57pm On Feb 01, 2022 |
LordReed:Google search of Wikipedia account says he was Agnostic, not and atheist. It follows that though he may be an atheist at some point, but he never ended as an atheist but as agnostist |
Re: Albert Einstein Was An Atheist. by LordReed(m): 8:02pm On Feb 01, 2022 |
paxonel:Agnostic about what? What is the definition of agnostic and how does it apply to Einstein? |
Re: Albert Einstein Was An Atheist. by paxonel(m): 9:12pm On Feb 01, 2022 |
LordReed:check the screen shot below. Agnostic is the position characterized by uncertainty about the existence of God. Unlike Atheists who are certain that God do not exist as if they are very sure Einstein probably was an atheist initially and claimed to be very sure. But as the man was becoming more knowledgeable, at some point he changed his position about the existence of God and landed at a final conclusion which was "I DON'T KNOW WHETHER GOD EXIST OR NOT ". That was a very sincere and a better position than atheism. Hence, Wikipedia wrote that he was agnostic. Now, for the op to come here and start affirming that Eintern was intelligent because he was an atheist, is a grade 1 fallacy he committed there. Because, there are no intelligence affirming what you don't know about in the first place. 1 Like

Re: Albert Einstein Was An Atheist. by LordReed(m): 9:55pm On Feb 01, 2022 |
paxonel: Not all atheists declare that they are certain there is no God. I for one describe myself as an agnostic-atheist because while do not have any belief in a god or gods I am not certain that God's exist or not so you are wrong to say that because Einstein described himself as agnostic he therefore couldn't have been an atheist. Now, for the op to come here and start affirming that Eintern was intelligent because he was an atheist, is a grade 1 fallacy he committed there. Wrong again. The OP never made such a declaration, perhaps your prejudice against atheists is what is giving you that impression. |
