Dear Rashid,
I received your message by post #
68. By reproducing the post # 63, you are reminding me that I have not
responded to the first paragraph of the post # 63 in my reply (post # 64).
This fist paragraph contains:
“Einstein concluded, based on
reason, …, So what other proof does one need?”
I did not find any proof for His
existence that Einstein ever concluded!
As for his belief in God the
situation is:
“I am not a family man. I want my
peace. I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in
this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to
know His thoughts, the rest are details.”
“I believe in Spinoza’s God, who
reveals himself in the harmony of all being, not in a God who concerns
himself with the fate and actions of men.”
“God who is the universe and
manifests Himself within it, rather than an intelligent mind that created
the universe and whose brilliance could be deduced by the intricacies and
the laws found therein as Einstein appears to imply.”
“A knowledge of the existence of
something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason
and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are
accessible to our minds—it is this knowledge and this emotion that
constitute true religiosity; in this sense and in this sense alone, I am a
deeply religious man.”
“In spite of his great admiration
for the ethical principles found in the Bible, to the end of his days
Einstein rejected the view of a “personal God” in the Judeo-Christian
tradition and continued to embrace the view of that God is a creative mind
that manifests Itself in the wonders of nature. There was no change in this
view as he approached his sunset years, and he died holding on to it to the
very end.”

The great man died with his
Belief in an impersonal God without ever giving any proof of His existence.
Any Proof attributed to him by Feroz Karmally is an extrapolation of Einstein’s claim that
God does not “Play Dice”.
Is He Playing Dice?
Sincerely,
Ahsan
