Thanks. It’s interesting that two of the primary developers of physics were deeply religious. Isaac Newton spent almost as much time writing a commentary on the Book of Revelation as he did on the laws of physics. Einstein was more of a loner: “My consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated. The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious.” “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 minds.”

When asked if he believes in Jesus, Einstein said, “Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."
