God & Einstein

was just reading a book -
Einstein Questions, Buddha Answers
Author: Supawan P.Pangawong Green

borrowed it from the regional library while waiting for a friend.

the book's pretty funny, let me extract out my favorite parts of the book

"Why genius prefer simple jobs"
"While the world expected to see these whiz kids holding prominent academic careers in their adulthoods, they, instead, turned out to be a plumber, a carpenter, a farmer or a chef. ... It is because these masterminds know it as a fact that one door is merely opened to yet another door and another endlessly, there is no exit (solution) as far as the use of the brain is concerned. ... Through experience, they will soon find out that the simplicity and ordinariness surrounding every avenue of their lives have much better tastes than exercising the power of their brains.
Quotes of Einstein to support this point
1. A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy.
2. Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
3. Try not to become a man of success but rather become a man of value.
4. We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
5. The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
6. Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.
7. The only sourse of knowledge is experience
8. If I had my life to live over again, I'd be a plumber. "

"God would not play dice"
"Einstein believed that the precise mathematics was the answer to everything and this too must be able to explain how God build the universe.
As he said:
I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.

The Theory of Everything is his wanting to find an equation that can read the mind of God and his artwork in creating the universe.
Although the nurse, tending at his dead bed, tried to tell him: 'maybe God didn't want us to know his mind,'
Einstein wouldn't have it. 'God would not play dice,' said Einstein stubbornly.
His quest was fruitless; he left the world without finding the answer."

I think Einstein didn't know
Isa 55:9
“ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

and (my favorite verse :D )

Deut 29:29a
The secret things belong to the LORD our God

:D

Be Bless!
Love,
