Albert Einstein and Religion

Collected by Nikolai V. Shokhirev

Up (Science and Religion)

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom."
"When I am judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way."
"Before God we are all equally wise - equally foolish."
"God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
"God always takes the simplest way."
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty."
"I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details."
"When the solution is simple, God is answering."
"God is subtle but he is not malicious."
Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.
