It has
said that Dr. Albert Einstein was an agnostic – which when one reads or studies
his life (from his own writings) this cannot be discerned. Interestingly – I’ve
read most all of Einstein’s writings and never seen this there – however this
has been around. Einstein – was raised in an inactive Jewish home – went to
Catholic schools (was ridiculed) and never professed either a belief or
disbelief to any Church – however, he did fully acknowledge the existence of
God (per se’ not Jesus Christ) and a higher authority. He stated this in a
small meeting in CA just prior to WW2 (1940). When Israel was formed he was
asked to be the first Prime
Minister but turned it down. As almost all those of a higher intellect he
understood the being of a higher being – had read the Bible – and found where
it made common sense none of the churches he knew of did. I’ll research the
below but don’t believe it is anything more than someone’s creation trying to
give it more credibility. All of the
writing’s claiming what Einstein’s writings do or do not say have been proven
much like the news of today – fake/false and very opinionated. Would highly
recommend one read’s the works of Albert Einstein’s – and see what you can come
to grasps with.
Agnostic: a person who believes that nothing is
known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond
material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. This does not and is not found in any Einstein’s
writings. Of course one can go back to those of who wrote serious papers as a
youth might be quoted from then and not today.
This
is found in one of the Analysis of this myth: This
apocryphal tale of a college-age Albert Einstein proving the existence of God
to his atheist professor first began circulating in 2004. One reason we know it
isn't true is that the same story was already making the rounds earlier
with no mention of Einstein in it at all.
Another
reason we know it isn't true is that Einstein was a self-described agnostic who
didn't believe in what he called a "personal God." He wrote: "[T]he
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."
And,
finally, we know it isn't true because Einstein was a careful thinker who
wouldn't have abided the specious logic attributed to him here. As written, the
argument neither disproves the existence of evil nor proves the existence of
God.
Actually the author who wrote the
analysis doesn’t understand the definition of Agnostic – and or much of
Einstein. An
agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of a
deity or deities, whereas a theist and
an atheist believe and disbelieve, respectively.
Over time many have asserted this label on those like Jefferson, Darwin,
Einstein and many other – and I would guess to some degree you and I! Huxley
came up with the term – and since then the liberal application has taken in a
lot of territory without understanding who they’ve assessed it to. Einstein
never self-described himself as such except to get people off of his case – the
same as Jefferson and Adams belonged to churches to keep people off of their
backs. Darwin – was born into a preachers home – attended seminary and finally
walked away due to the confusion found. What is taken out of context is that
almost all of the Christian Churches claim no personal God – but in their
various creeds only a God which makes absolutely no sense. Thus most all of
Christendom and the other major religions of the world are by Huxley’s definition
‘Agnostics’.
By
definition a ‘personal God’ is one you can communicate with one to one – and be
heard and understood and at the same time come to know literally. Since only one organized Church believes this to be true
– that there is open communication with their God – then what of the rest of
the world? Claiming such a belief and in the same breathe denying it. All of
the Creeds in Christendom deny the literal existence of a physical being of
flesh and bone – as two separate beings as the Savior testifies over and over
again in the Scriptures. Again neither
here nor there – believing what one wants cannot change the truth – ‘If you
love me keep my Commandments’ – and thus to believe the Savior’s Word! We must
each remember – all of us who proclaim Christianity ‘faith without works is
dead’ (James) and we’ve to live the Will of the Father or deny all that we
profess to believe.
Whether we choose to
become a disciple of Jesus Christ – we better read the instruction book(s) –
and heed them literally without the logismoi of men/women intermixed. Sadly
most will just read the synopsis or maybe a College Cheat Book. We do not know the
heart of beliefs of a man/woman until they walk/talk/listen/discern and even
then might not know. However, we don’t have to know – only Father and the Son
need to know and they do! Careful quoting out of context, edited writings, hearsay,
myths and whatever else can be known/shown/guessed is not to be used to
understand the heart of a man/woman.
Agnosticism 102 is
nothing more than continuation of men/women justifying what they want to
believe or to be held accountable for to their peers or associates. Einstein,
Jefferson and many others to include Darwin are labeled by what men/women try
to apply to justify their history retroactively re-written. We’ve each to do
our own homework – going back as far as we can to primary source materials –
lacking to do this we then hang what we believe on what others want us to
believe.
