I found the following story on Einstein to be interesting, so thought I would share it with others.

Actually it is interesting. I have read some of these quotes before. Definatley sounded like a conflicted man, that could not come to conclution of what he believed but knew something was out there. Just never could grasp it. Like he said, we are like children in a library with books of unknown languages, and we cannot explain them or where they come from.

Sometimes I think it is better to be a humble man of humble thought, that accepts God, and accepts the fact he cannot explain it but just has faith. Like Paul says, mans wisdom is going to look pretty foolish to God.

I agree with you. A brillant man, but humble just the same.

Einstein has always fascinated me. Partly 'cuz I kinda think we may have thought alot alike. (NOTE:I do NOT consider myself a genius!![8D]) What I mean is math is far and away my worse subject. I don't 'mouth' statements before I say them...but rarely does something come out of my mouth that I've not pre-spoken in my mind. Geometry and Physics comes naturally...but Algebra and all but the simplest trig and calc KICKS MY BUTT!!! Explain that!?!?!??!??

Sad, that one part of him knew the truth but his mind kept him from accepting the Truth.
