It seems Einstein’s real beef with God was over the theological issue of the dilemma of evil – a common occurence with Jews especially who witnessed the Holocaust. I agree with the writer that it is spurious logic to equate his genius with physics to his ability to deal with profound spiritual-theological-philosphical issues. I can sing, cook, and dabble some with Plato and Wittgenstein, but I cannot for the life of me figure out my tax return (thank God for my wife.)
And for those who are symbiotically reassured with their own skepticsim about God or the Scriptures in Einstein’s pronouncements, please note that he was a socialist too. Does that comfort you?
