Raised a deeply
religious man, he
stepped away from
God as he stepped
into physics...
In the end, the greatest scientist and physicist of all time,
Albert Einstein, acquiesced his brilliance and understanding
to God. Even creating the brilliant and unsurpassed
“Theory of Relativity”, Einstein gave God the credit. In his
own indomitable style, he understood the relationship
between creation and science. Raised a deeply religious
man, he stepped away from God as he stepped into physics
- only to return to the reality that he “knew God and knew
God existed”.
Einstein had an intrinsic connection to the process of how
God worked through man and science. Somehow his
perception led him to the understanding they might be one
in the same: “Science without religion is lame. Religion
without science is blind. God does not care about our
mathematical difficulties. He rules imperially”. Somehow
Einstein understood the invisible connection between God
and man, faith and science. Einstein was a passionate man
powered by the love of his wife and devastated by the loss
of his son to Schizophrenia. Imagine this brilliant physicist
having to witness his son institutionalized for life.
He had to watch, in disbelief, as all of his scientific
knowledge experienced being powerless. Einstein was
unable to do a single thing for his son - except the shedding
of many tears in frustration and grief. Even the brilliance
of Einstein could not change the “science” of an unseen
destroyer of the mind and spirit. But he continued on,
powered his by his scientific theories as they became a
piece of historical prominence that literally changed the
world of science and psychics forever. I wonder what
Einstein would have deduced from the concept that the
totality of one small tear contained all of the emotions,
spirit, mind and science of
man. Somehow I think he
would have seen the mystery
of God contained in the tears
he cried for his son. Even
Webster had a hard time
defining certain words like
“love” and “spirit”. Sometimes we have to trust what
we cannot see or feel. That is
where “relationship” begins
and doubt goes out the door.
“I want to know
God’s thoughts;
the rest are details”.
(Albert Einstein)
