| Panama said: There are many religious scientists out there, Einstein being one of them. There exist many countries that are founded on religion where the majority of the populace believe in evolution (surprisingly enough the USA apparently isn't in this category). There's a fine line between being religious or a fundamentalist and those that deny evolution go into the latter category I believe. |
Einstein wasn't religious. He was a deist at most.
"A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. "
He says here he is only religious in a certain way, not in the sense you're thinking of.
I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it
Again, deistic point of view.
A better example of a theistic scientist would be Francis Collins, which actually relates to this thread as he lead the Human Genome Project, which completely confirms evolution.
Also, USA wasn't founded on religion, infact it was largely escaping religion.
Sorry I had to nitpick your post, I just can't help myself.
