I learned about Einstein not so much from school but from friends. The film Back to the Future made me love him even more. He became the human face of science in my mind. But it never occurred to me that he was a man of faith who believed in a personal God, no, not even until now. That's why when I saw a video of him portrayed as young student proving his teacher wrong about God through logical deduction, I was a bit surprised. It’s logic was appealing. Cinematically speaking, it's a great video, only that I doubt its accuracy.
How I wish it was true. How I wish he was how he is portrayed in this video and other theistic literatures, but I don't think it matters.
If we are to believe Wikipedia, he was an agnostic. So what? I love his genius and indomitable spirit. But does it affect the way I pray, praise, and love God ? I met my God before him, before his signing of the use of the atom bomb, before I dreamed of going back to the future.
God does not need a scientist to prove his existence!
Heaven Father,
You brought the world and all its creatures
By the power of Your love alone,
Make us steadfast in our faith in You
And make us credible witnesses of Your love
So that the world will know that You’re
The only Mighty One
We adore
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
