Relationship Between Religion And Science


Relationship Between Religion And Science
Cool - it's important to realize that God is not a static thing - how we understand God has changed considerable through human evolution, and through the stages of development in individual human beings. See The Evolution of God by Robert Wright for the best look at this idea I've seen in a book.

Einstein has often been cited as an example of science and religion co-existing in the same mind. But Einstein's sense of God is very different than the God of a Southern Baptist. This discussion between Paul Holdengraber, Andrew Solomon, and Krista Tippett looks at the impersonal God of Einstein.

EINSTEIN'S GOD: CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SCIENCE

THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY


Summary

Albert Einstein did not believe in a personal God. And his famous quip that "GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE WITH THE UNIVERSE" was a statement about quantum physics, not a statement of faith. But he did leave behind a fascinating, largely forgotten legacy of musings and writings - some serious, some whimsical - about the relationship between science and religion and his own inquisitive reverence for the "order deeply hidden behind everything."
