Here are some quotes you can check.100 years ago, Albert Einstein published
three papers that rocked the world. These papers
proved the existence of the atom, introduced the
theory of relativity, and described quantum
mechanics.

Pretty good debut for a 26 year old scientist, huh?

His equations for relativity indicated that the universe
was expanding. This bothered him, because if it was
expanding, it must have had a beginning and a beginner.
Since neither of these appealed to him, Einstein introduced
a 'fudge factor' that ensured a 'steady state' universe,
one that had no beginning or end.

But in 1929, Edwin Hubble showed that the furthest
galaxies were fleeing away from each other, just as the
Big Bang model predicted. So in 1931, Einstein embraced
what would later be known as the Big Bang theory, saying,
"This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation
of creation to which I have ever listened." He referred
to the 'fudge factor' to achieve a steady-state universe
as the biggest blunder of his career.

Einstein's theories have been thoroughly proved and
verified by experiments and measurements. But there's
an even more important implication of Einstein's discovery.
Not only does the universe have a beginning, but time
itself, our own dimension of cause and effect, began
with the Big Bang.

That's right -- time itself does not exist before
then. The very line of time begins with that creation
event. Matter, energy, time and space were created
in an instant by an intelligence outside of space
and time.

About this intelligence, Albert Einstein wrote
in his book "The World As I See It" that the harmony
of natural law "Reveals an intelligence of such superiority
that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting
of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."*

He went on to write, "Everyone who is seriously
involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced
that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--
a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in
the face of which we with our modest powers must feel
humble."*

Pretty significant statement, wouldn't you say?

Of course Einstein believed in God. After all, he was a Jew, and he knew that after Caiphas and Co. handed Jesus over for execution in the first century A.D., all hell was bound to come down on his head. Eventually.

And who can send Hell down on someone's head when Hell is down below to begin with?

God only knows!

Amen. It's nice to see that even a scientist can back up that the Big Bang was created by someone superior to the human race.

Thanks for posting this.

I don't know what Albert believed and I really don't care.

I am Christian and I do have a spiritual side but the idea of shoving Christianity down other's throats is down right appalling.

"Do onto others as you would have others do onto you!"

Any Christian would recognize this.

Would you want a Muslim trying to push their religion down your throat? Of course not. Its the same as a Christian trying to push Christianity down a Muslims or anyone else's throat.

Respect thy neighbour and do onto others as you would have done onto yourself.
