I have to thank you for this quote. It is the best evidence of Einstein’s belief in God I’ve yet come across. I too saw “Genius” recently and was muttering out loud if there was any documentation of Einstein actually saying that only God could have created the universe. I’m not that surprised that there probably is not. But, people not familiar with theology often confuse not believing in a “personal God” with personally not believing in one. Einstein’s quote is a wonderful example of someone quite emphatically believing in God’s existence, but just not in the popular conception of such a belief.
Not accepting the idea of “a personal God” simply means that Einstein did not believe in a man with a long, gray beard in the clouds, busily doling out rewards and punishments for everyone on earth. And Einstein probably also meant that he didn’t believe that Jesus, Buddha or Rama were fully Divine. But his second sentence quickly puts to rest any debate on whether Einstein personally believed in God. “His God” was smart enough to create principles which perform those tasks in a much more reasonable (and efficient?) fashion, as any God that does not play dice with the universe would. In theological terms, this is often referred to as the difference between a God with form, and a God without form. Einstein is stating rather unequivocally that he (personally) believes in the latter. But that God is no less the Primal Cause; omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, than the God with form, i.e. a personal God. And Einstein’s universe which is ruled by those “immutable laws”, which reward good punish evil, seem to be identical with the Law of Karma, with which Einstein was reportedly very familiar.
So, it would seem that professor Einstein was simply more Hindu than Christian, Jewish or Buddhist (seeing as Buddhists don’t accept the traditional idea of God at all) in his cosmology.
So, thanks once again.
