"Religion and Science" by Albert Einstein

What Albert Einstein think about God, religion or belief? Albert Einstein is probably one of the five (possibly three) major thinkers in human history. Not surprisingly, Christians are fond of telling stories about how his "faith" and "spirituality" has influenced his scientific intelligence. This is not related to the historical record. What Einstein thought religion and faith and God? This essay, published in 1930 in The New York Times Magazine, not only perfectlyintroduced his faith, but embodies the very spirit of the highest levels of human thought: science. In the early twentieth century, Albert Einstein revolutionized the way scientists think about space and time. In his theory of special relativity, Einstein showed that time and the length is not as absolute as suggested by everyday experience: moving clocks run slower and moving objects are shorter. These are just two of the unusual properties of the world of Einstein! Anotherconsequence of special relativity is the most famous of all formula: E = mc ², which shows that two physical quantities that physicists had defined separately, ie energy and mass are in fact identical. In Einstein's general theory of relativity, space and time are flexible. Performance will vary, "so you can measure time intervals, depending on where and when you are. This has a similar flexibility in the geometry of surfaces, such as a sphere - there is a curvature...
