Einstein: Bible Is 'Primitive, Pretty Childish'
Einstein: Bible Is 'Primitive, Pretty Childish'

LONDON — Albert Einstein: arch rationalist or scientist with a spiritual core?

A letter being auctioned in London this week adds more fuel to the long-simmering debate about the Nobel prize-winning physicist's religious views.

In the note, written the year before his death, Einstein dismissed the idea of God as the product of human weakness and the Bible as "pretty childish."

...
In it, Einstein said that "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."

"For me," he added, "the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."

Not all do. But yes, there is a large number that do.

Re: Einstein: Bible Is 'Primitive, Pretty Childish'
The more I study, the more I believe in God. He leaves me speechless...dumbfounded...amazed, not because I do not understand what I see but because I grow TO understand more of it. To truly understand something and to truly abide in the scientific method will leave a person without excuse.

Romans 1:20
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
