"I want to know God's thoughts - the rest is not important"
"The more I study science the more I believe in God"
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"Every one 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."
"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."
"The scientists’ religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books — a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects."
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."
"There is no logical way to the discovery of elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance."
"When the solution is simple, God is answering. God does not play dice with the universe. God is subtle but he is not malicious."
"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men."
"I am a Jew, but I am entralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. No one can read the gospel without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
"All the world bows to me, I bow to the Master Peter Deunov of Bulgaria."
- Albert Einstein
Have you read Peter Deunov?
(to name one mystic and spiritual teacher who united science and spirituality into an impressive whole)
Or, to use your own way of arguing - is someone who was worthy of Albert Einstein's time not worthy enough of yours? Or do you see yourself as intellectually superior to Albert Enstein?
Not only irratonal/unintelligent people believe in God. Not everyone who has time for religion take it as literal truth - more as an imperfect way of trying to communicate (hard to achieve) truth.
