I support you 100%, Dr. Albert Einstein.
1. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)
2. "I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God." -Albert Einstein
3. "The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." (Albert Einstein)
4. "I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality." (Albert Einstein,The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press)
5. "I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?" (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p. 208)
6. "Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is the same as that of the religious fanatics, and it springs from the same source . . . They are creatures who can't hear the music of the spheres." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p. 214)
7. "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." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p.202)
8. "In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognise, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support for such views." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, p. 214)
9. "It is very difficult to elucidate this cosmic religious feeling to anyone who is entirely without it. . . The religious geniuses of all ages have been distinguished by this kind of religious feeling, which knows no dogma and no God conceived in man's image; so that there can be no church whose central teachings are based on it ... In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, p. 207)
10. "I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves." (Albert Einstein, The World as I See It)
11. "A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." (Albert Einstein, "Religion and Science", New York Times Magazine, 9 November 1930)
12. "I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." (Albert Einstein, responding to Rabbi Herbert Goldstein who had sent Einstein a cablegram bluntly demanding "Do you believe in God?" Quoted from Victor J. Stenger, Has Science Found God? 2001, chapter 3.)
(Baruch Spinoza believed God exists only philosophically and that God was abstract and impersonal.[1] Spinoza's system imparted order and unity to the tradition of radical thought, offering powerful weapons for prevailing against "received authority." As a youth he first subscribed to Descartes's dualistic belief that body and mind are two separate substances, but later changed his view and asserted that they were not separate, being a single identity. He contended that everything that exists in Nature (i.e., everything in the Universe) is one Reality (substance) and there is only one set of rules governing the whole of the reality which surrounds us and of which we are part. Spinoza viewed God and Nature as two names for the same reality,[11] namely the single substance (meaning "that which stands beneath" rather than "matter") that is the basis of the universe and of which all lesser "entities" are actually modes or modifications, that all things are determined by Nature to exist and cause effects, and that the complex chain of cause and effect is only understood in part.)

The unpredictable results of the Theory of Relativity. As Albert Einstein lay on his deathbed, he asked only for his glasses, his writing implements and his latest equations. He knew he was dying, yet he continued his work. In those final hours of his life, while fading in and out of consciousness, he was working on what he hoped would be his greatest work of all. It was a project of monumental complexity. It was a project that he hoped would unlock the mind of God.

Einstein was a wuss. Clearly he was hobbled by his spiritual beliefs. Shame.

If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. -- Albert Einstein

you know what i mean already
lets reduce the equation
A= X+Y+Z
where
A= success
X= Work
Y= Play
Z= Keep your mouth shut
Most of us dont like to do Y= work so we can eliminate that from the equation leaving us with a new equation
A= Y+Z
Sometimes Y = Play can become a serious issue, like when you become a top Player you have to deal with fans and they can intrude all the paparazzi etc and also the Queen of England recently sent a notice all paparazzi to stay away, but if you are going to Play then you are free to keep it in your equation...but we can eliminate Y too from the equation.
A = Z is what we are left with
A is a variable - A is success, with what that is what is the question...if you take A in the literal psychedelic sense A is A and since you are an intelligent being you know what i mean when i say A is A.
A = Z
now that we have A on our side what we must learn is Z that is to keep our mouth shut.
once you have this success (men) you become the most eligible bachelors and as a reward you can have upto 4 wives. But make sure your first 3 wives are Lucy Alice and Mary and your fourth wife can be the Black Widow.
Now that you know what i mean its time to open a bank account
When death comes to your doorstep, make sure you are alive

Nice quotes by this very interesting man.It`s seems he already knew about the true reality of nature and life (god),that god is what we call the omnipresent chain of life which goes through everything and that we all are parts of. That what we call god is not located somewhere or is at a special place but that principle is everywhere and that all living things are bearing it inside and therefore are themselfes and expression of it.
Even modern science back up the singularity principle
since they talk about bing bang as an singularity,big bang was one,and even if a water creates drops of itself it is still water.If you throw a bottle of glass at the floor the bottle is still glass when it divides.
That behind the form there is only one ,and that one has been called many different names and been described different by many cultures and religions through the history. Yet all religion is interpretations of the same thing,they have just interpretated it in different ways.
Albert Einstein seems to been knowing it emotionally but his logical mind wanted to understand it through it`s own terms.I think thats were the problem was for him finding the inner peace and feeling of connection and integration with lifeforce,consciousness,god( whatever word one feel applies to the own mind) .And i know that many people are in the same situation today.
A text that describes a conversation between Einstein and a nurse in the last end of his life:
"As the nurse is bending down to straighten his sheets, and allows a small golden cross, suspended around her neck by a chain, to fall loose, swinging away from her body toward the professor’s face. He looks at it thoughtfully and, as the nurse leans forward and asks her: “You believe. . . in God?
Hesitating for just a moment, as though parsing the old scientist’s motives before forming an answer, the nurse finally replies with a smile: “Yes. Yes I do.” She hesitates again, and then adds: “Do you . . . believe?
The camera pans back to a station behind the nurse, showing the pair engaged in their intimate exchange, the professor’s wrinkled face, the eyes gazing off into the distance. “Do I believe that someone plans the daily life of Albert Einstein?” he says, and then shakes his head slightly to emphasize anegative reply, “No,” he says, and then in a more animated pose, his brow slightly furrowed and a smile lurking beneath his broad mustache, he continues; “Although, sometimes I think he may have been leading me up the garden path.
But, didn’t he make the garden?” The nurse’s reply is thoughtful as the camera moves to a close up of just her face, and then back to the two in intimate conversation, and the old man’s tentative reply crosses his lips: “I think he IS the garden"
Almost without hesitation the nurse picks up the thread of the professor’s thought and says: “But, isn’t he the gardener too?” To which the old man looks straight at the camera and replies thoughtfully: “Yes, and all my life I’ve been trying to catch him at his work.”
