Time Magazine

I read an article in Time Magazine the other day about Albert Einstein and his concept of God and religion.

This was the quote that I felt most appealing. The "problem" he's talking about is our understanding of God.

"the problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in mnay languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intellgient human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws." - Albert Einstein
