Albert Einstein: A Really Smart Guy

23 September 2003 by Ron

Some student who’d heard my rant — uh, I mean, my reasoned observations of how the really smart people are atheists gave me the old “How about Einstein?” chestnut. After being pleased that he’d heard of Einstein at all, I rubbed his face in my favorite Einstein quote. So I’ll share it as a thought for the day:

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

And not only that, but I heard he once did Marilyn Monroe.
