- Albert Einstein (/ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn]; 14 March 1879 -- 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. While best known for his mass--energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"), he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli (25 April 1900 -- 15 December 1958) was an Austrian theoretical physicist and one of the pioneers of quantum physics. In 1945, after being nominated by Albert Einstein, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "decisive contribution through his discovery of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle," involving spin theory, underpinning the structure of matter and the whole of chemistry.
Carl Gustav Jung (/ˈjʊŋ/ YUUNG, German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf ˈjʊŋ]; 26 July 1875 -- 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, the founder of analytical psychology. Jung is considered the first modern psychiatrist to view the human psyche as "by nature religious" and make it the focus of exploration. Jung is one of the best known researchers in the field of dream analysis and symbolization. While he was a fully involved and practicing clinician, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts.
Srīnivāsa Rāmānujan (Tamil: ஸ்ரீநிவாச ராமானுஜன்) (22 December 1887 -- 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan was said by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy to be in the same league as mathematicians like Euler and Gauss in terms of natural genius.
Fr. Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O. (born 7th March 1923) is a Trappist monk (Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance) and priest, known as one of architects of the Centering Prayer, a contemporary method of contemplative prayer, that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey, Spencer, Massachusetts, in 1975. He was born in New York City, and attended Deerfield Academy, Yale University, and Fordham University, graduating in December 1943. He is a founder of the Centering Prayer movement and of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd.
TTBOOK is a nationally-syndicated radio show that cracks open the world and the ideas that fuel its engine, with Jim Fleming, Steve Paulson, Anne Strainchamps, Charles Monroe-Kane, Doug Gordon, Veronica Rueckert, Caryl Owen and Sara Nics.Once they pick the theme, they dig in with interviews that explore the culture, the debate, the stories, the science and the actual sound of it all. And hopefully, when they're done, they've animated the questions along with the answers.
TTBOOK: Einstein, God, and the Universe (12.25.2011)
1. Steve Paulson Reports on Albert Einstein's Religious Beliefs: Steve Paulson speaks with several scientists, religious scholars and atheists about Albert Einstein's religious beliefs. We hear from Richard Dawkins, Elaine Pagels, and Einstein biographer Walter Isaacson who debate what Einstein meant by "god."
2. David Lindorff on "Pauli and Jung: The Meeting of Two Great Minds": Jungian analyst David Lindorff is the author of "Pauli and Jung: The Meeting of Two Great Minds." He tells Anne Strainchamps about Pauli's therapy with Jung which focused on Pauli's dreams, and led the physicist to an interest in mysticism and alchemy.
3. David Leavitt on "The Indian Clerk": David Leavitt is the author of a novel called "The Indian Clerk" which tells the story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the uneducated Indian who amazed Cambridge University with his mathematical discoveries. Leavitt tells Jim Fleming how Ramanujan became friends with mathematician G.H. Hardy.
4. Father Thomas Keating on the Contemplative Life: Father Thomas Keating is considered by some people one of the world's greatest living mystics. He talks with Steve Paulson about God and the contemplative life. Keating is known for founding the Centering Prayer movement.

“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 languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in 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, as cited in Antony Flew’s book, There Is A God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind.
“The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God.”
“In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.”
“Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.”
-Louis Pasteur, the founder of microbiology and immunology.
“The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who - in their grudge against traditional religion as the ‘opium of the masses’ - cannot hear the music of the spheres.”-Albert Einstein
"The word God is nothing but human weakness to me" -Albert Einstein
The Bahai Faith teaches that true science and religion agree. They are the wings that man can use to elevate himself. What's so complicated about that?
“You accept the historical Jesus?”
“Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”-Albert Einstein, from an interview with the Saturday Evening Post
“Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as
having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist.”-Charles Darwin, the founder of evolutionary biology, as quoted in his autobiography.
So ahead of his time
He was genius!!!!
Gods are Nominalizations.
Such is our lot. Ye are a strange loop of Loops into Divinity. Into Transcendence. Into Infinity.
We must understand Void, Change, and Synthesis.
A long time ago.
Who is an authority to attempt an explanation of Life?
Meaning is to be discovered only by your personal being, without ANY religious or interlectual study, whether it be the Rig Veda or all the mausoleums and librarys of writings through the ages.
good
keep the real video of Einstein
The Einstein article "Why Socialism? 1947 is much more interesting than this !
Its here on youtube and as text in the web.
all around you.
Joesph the church adopted Science.
rad
Einstein believes in GOD
but it was rather much different what defines "GOD" FOR HIM
not
Hi. Joseph A*e*i*o*u sometimes y.
Ya,ask your mom.
Got any proof of that?
The only Word is Silence, and nothing is not; this continuum is expanding from a kind of æther you only can call "nothing". But the greatest superfluity of all is the lagging of the incomplete when once the 'complete' (god) had already come to being. Instead, there is no seperate demiurge of hebrew nonsense! The republic of what is, is where everything is at once effect and cause. The senses do not percieve a 'creation', they describe it, like instruments of an artist. Divine is blind Will
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions." -- Albert Einstein, letter to Eric B. Gutkind, 1/3/54.
