1. Einstein did not believe in God. He went along with Spinoza, and he was an agnostic. It’s Christian myth that he believed in God. He taught at the university my late father attended in Berlin, and he was a member of the same Jewish community. He absolutely and utterly did not believe in god.

2. Okay, so you’re a scientist and engineer. I respect that. My late father had degrees in law, engineering, and journalism. He was also president of the astronomical society and chairman of the engineering society. The average IQ in my family is 185 – google that. My IQ has been measured somewhere between 165 and off-the-graph, so I’m not impressed by people who are supposedly brilliant. I’m accustomed to highly, highly intelligent people. Of course, everybody who told me all this could be wrong, and all the tests might be complete and utter bullshit. I accept that.
3. For the record, only 5.3% of the world’s most eminent scientists believe in a personal god. Distinguished scientists do not believe in gods. I don’t know where you get that from.

4. I spent 5 years at a church school where I attended churching morning and evening. I spent 10 years as a Christian fundamentalist and was known for my extensive knowledge of the bible, etc. I also spent a year converting to Judaism and was elected to the Committee of the richest shul in South Afria on the day I formally became a Jew. That does not happen. It was acknowledged that I had an in-depth knowledge of the bible and the religion. And that I was insightful. I then spent another 10 years in the ‘spiritual – new age’ movement. I have also read the Koran, and have been accepted by Shamans, Mediums, etc. as having some ‘gifts.” My astrology chart says I have a very rare chart – the chart of a child prodigy, and that I can work in the ‘spiritual world the way other people can work in the material world with their hands.” The chart also said that I had no need to learn psychology because I was born with full knowledge. The chart was done by Matrix. https://www.astrologysoftware.com/ When I say that I don’t believe in god, it is NOT a lack of study. It is extensive study over a very long period of time. For the record, there is a correlation between atheism and the highest education and intelligence levels. Also, atheists are far more knowledgeable about religion than people who actually believe in god are. You can google that. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/09/28/130191248/atheists-and-agnostics-know-more-about-bible-than-religious
5. In order for something to be classified a miracle, it must be impossible. It cannot be considered a coincidence or lucky. Coincidence and luck happens to atheists as well. Now, if someone didn’t have a leg, and then a whole new leg grew in two days, that would be a miracle. Miracles fall outside the boundaries of science.
6. A lack of understanding of something is not proof of god. It is evidence that we don’t understand it – yet. Some things we may never understand. That is still not evidence of a personal god. That’s rather like a member of a primitive tribe saying he doesn’t understand the plane in the sky, and the fact that he doesn’t understand the plane in the sky is evidence of a god. These are non-sequiturs.
7. I did not get out of bed on the wrong side. I am 69 years old. I spent 50 fucking years studying religion, psychology, the meaning of life, etc. In my opinion, God does not exist. And most people who live in Europe don’t believe in Gods either. To quote Epicurus, an early Greek philosopher:
If God is unable to prevent evil, then he is not all-powerful.
If God is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not all-good.
If God is both willing and able to prevent evil, then why does evil exist?
I’m sorry if I offended you. It wasn’t personal. Some of my articles on hubpages describe this is more detail.
