If Einstein was around today instead of in the early 20th century, would he still be yammering mindless crap about god throwing dice?

Methinks not. Eieney would be like the rest of us and insist that god is a bull**** excuse for, "I know nothing."

We know a lot more now. So, he would probably say. "Those who believe in gods throw losing dice."
 
Show me on this doll where god touched you

I disagree. Seeing as Einstein's comment about "God throwing dice" had nothing to do with a biblical-style "personal" God, I don't see his position changing at all. Rather, I see his position as even more fortified.

Einstein regarded religious holy books and organized religion as a collection of “primitive legends” and “childish superstitions.” He was agnostic as it relates to the idea of a creator God, but took the position that it’s not something that can ever be known and therefore not worth thinking about. There haven’t been any developments that would change that position.

That quote was him addressing his frustration in dealing with quantum mechanics, specifically as suggested by Niels Bohr.

God vs Einstein?

HAHAHAHA It gives me the visual of an ant, indignantly waving his arms at Godzilla! Hahahahaha



Anyway, I don't think Einstein was an atheist. He's more like a pantheist or maybe, a deist!


At least, he knew, and admittted to his limitation:

Einstein used many labels to describe his religious views, including "agnostic",[5] "religious nonbeliever"[3] and a "pantheistic"[9] believer in "Spinoza's God".[2]

Einstein believed the problem of God was the "most difficult in the world"—a question that could not be answered "simply with yes or no."

He conceded that, "the problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.
