The great scientist's views on religion have long been debated, with many seizing upon phrases such as "He [God] does not throw dice" as evidence that he believed in a creator. But the newly-unveiled letter, a response to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, has cast doubt on the theory that Einstein had any belief in God at all towards to the end of his life. In the letter, dated January 3 1954, he wrote: "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. "No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this." Einstein, who died the following year aged 76, did not spare Judaism from his criticism, believing Jewish people were in no way "chosen" by God. He wrote: "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are better protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." The letter, which for decades has been in private hands, has come to light as it is to go on sale at Bloomsbury Auctions in Mayfair on Thursday. It is expected to sell for up to £8,000. Educated at a Catholic primary school but given private tuition in Judaism, Einstein later wrote that the "religious paradise of youth" – when he believed what he was told – was quickly crushed when he started questioning religion at the age of 12. He wrote: "The consequence was a positively fanatic freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression." But many of his pronouncements appear to support a belief in a divine being, or at least a wish to believe in one. The same year he wrote the letter he also said he wanted to "experience the universe as a single cosmic whole".

M. Augustus United States	I'm irritated at the last paragraph. The notion of the universe as a 'whole', although somewhat 'spiritual', in no way implies belief in a deity in the superstitious sense of the term. Otherwise, very nice Gkiss.

gkisseberth Colombia	I thought exactly the same thing about that last paragraph. Science's search for a single unifying force seems to be in the same vein and isn't in any way a wish to believe in a divine being.

الشيئان اللذان ليس لهما حدود، الكون وغباء الإنسان، مع أني لست متأكدا بخصوص الكون.
أهم شيء أن لاتتوقف عن التساؤل.
أجمل إحساس هو الغموض، إنه مصدر الفن والعلوم.
كل ماهو عظيم وملهم صنعه إنسان عَمِل بحرية.
إذا لم يوافق الواقعُ النظريةَ، غيِّر الواقع.
الجنون هو أن تفعل الشيء مرةً بعد مرةٍ وتتوقع نتيجةً مختلفةً.
الحقيقة هي مايثبُت أمام إمتحان التجربة.
يستطيع أي أحمقٍ جعل الأشياء تبدو أكبر وأعقد، لكنك تحتاج إلى عبقري شجاع لجعلها تبدو عكس ذلك.
الخيال أهم من المعرفة.
الحقيقة ليست سوى وهم، لكنه وهم ثابت.
يبدأ الإنسان بالحياة، عندما يستطيع الحياة خارج نفسه.
أنا لاأفكر بالمستقبل، إنه يأتي بسرعة.
من لم يخطئ، لم يجرب شيئاً جديداً.
العلم شيءٌ رائعٌ، إذا لم تكن تعتاش منه.
العلم ليس سوى إعادة ترتيبٍ لتفكيرك اليومي.
لايمكننا حل مشكلةٍ باستخدام العقلية نفسها التي أنشأتها.
الثقافة هي مايبقى بعد أن تنسى كل ماتعلمته في المدرسة.
المعادلات أهم شيء بالنسبة لي، السياسة للحاضر والمعادلة للأبدية.
إذا كان أ= النجاح . فإن أ = ب +ج + ص. حيث ب=العمل. ج=اللعب. ص=إبقاء فمك مغلقاً.
كلما اقتربت القوانين من الواقع أصبحت غير ثابتة، وكلما اقتربت من الثبات أصبحت غير واقعية.
أنا لاأعرف السلاح الذي سيستخدمه الإنسان في الحرب العالمية الثالثة، لكني أعرف أنه سيستخدم العصا والحجر في الحرب العالمية الرابعة.
أثمن ما في العالم هو الحدس أو الفكرة اللامعة.

M. Augustus United States	I KNEW Birgul would be around to cut-and-paste something he saw on the internet into this thread. I see you.you dont prove your opinion by science,and you try to find someone to support your opinion. So let me get this straight. When you post (as you just did) ridiculously long, boring lists of scientists who believe or quotes from prominent Westerners who converted to Islam, that's proof. But when Gkiss. quotes someone who held a different opinion, then it doesn't matter what scientists think?
