3.0 out of 5 stars A review of Albert Einstein's essay Religion & Science
Reviewed in the United States on 26 January 2014
Verified Purchase
As a writer and publisher I was surprised to find Einstein's essay, "Religion & Science," significantly confusing. At least in this era of his career, Einstein's writing seems overly lofty and wordy, studiously debating each side of the proposed issue without a clear message of his own conclusion. In my view, that gives his essay a feeling of emptiness. In fact, his debate seems to be as much with himself as his intended readers. And it certainly is wide ranging and thought provoking, well worth studying intensely. We know that a great many, if not most, who consider themselves scientists claim to be aetheists or agnostics, feeling, perhaps, that they are able to create the universe and all that's in it with scientific education. We also know that many others are persons of faith, believing that scientific education studies an already existing intelligent, amazingly intricate, design. In a debate of this magnitude, it is always meaningful - in our own quest - to share the thoughts of an Einstein on such a vital part of our humanity. There is a hint of his conclusion when he says that man creates religion in his own mind to buffer life's fears, dangers, and mysteries. Nevertheless, what I wanted to know when I found this essay of Einstein's was...as a scientist, what do you think of God? I couldn't find that answer in Einstein's essay. Maybe you will.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chapter 2 is missing from the Kindle Edition
Reviewed in the United States on 20 October 2013

The book is brilliant - coming from the mind of Einstein, could have expected nothing less. The evolution of religion, to manage fear then to manage morality and finally to manage cosmic wonder is beautifully explained in Chapter 1 as only a genius like Einstein could. But Chapter 2 is entirely missing from the Kindle edition. I looked at other reviews and only one other person has mentioned this. Wonder why ! The rest of you, in case you have got Chapter 2 in your Kindle edition, please let me know. Unfortunate that because of this flaw - attributable to the publisher, I am sure, I have to give 3 stars. The other 2 chapters (1 and 3) clearly deserve 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The harmony between religion and science
Reviewed in the United States on 28 April 2020

This book has oriented me on the right direction in viewing religion and science. It's rigorous analysis of both is telling and it's synthesis is compelling. I recommend the book to all religious leaders and serious science students who often presume the superiority of science over religion before they even grasp both of them. This book baptizes and anoints both religious and scientific fanatic terrorism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science is compatible with Cosmic religion.
Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2016

These essays distinguish among fear-based, moral, and cosmic religion. Primitive religion is fear-based; modern mainstream religion is primarily moral. Only cosmic religion - without an invasive, anthropomorphic, rewarding sand punishing view of God - is truly compatible with, indeed necessary for, the pursuit of science. The only religious institutions I know of that match such a description are Unitarian Universalism and, perhaps, New Thought Christianity.
