I can’t afford to buy it, but we can all read it.
Some of the religious nuts I know have claimed Einstein believed in God.
Wrong! Not even close.
And he put his thoughts in a letter, which is going on sale, soon.
A handwritten letter from Albert Einstein about his thoughts on God, religion and his search for meaning is to go on sale in New York, valued at up to $1.5 million, Christie's said Wednesday.
Written a year before the legendary physicist died in 1955, his name synonymous with genius, Einstein writes in German from Princeton, New Jersey to German philosopher Eric Gutkind.
"The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of venerable but still rather primitive legends," writes the physicist, best known for his theory of relativity.
A recent global survey conducted by National Geographic, shows that the worlds fastest growing religion is not Islam or Christianity, but no religion at all – atheism.
The study comes in conjunction with Nat. Geo’s new television series “The Story of God” starring Morgan Freeman which travels the world chronicling religious beliefs practiced by different cultures.
BTW, the same people who disagree with Einstein are FERVENT Dotard supporters.
"No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change anything about this."
The one-and-a-half-page letter will go on sale on December 4, estimated by Christie's to fetch between $1 million and $1.5 million.
