Isn't the real question of God about sentience rather than existence?
If we are to say 'God is', this means that God is everywhere and is
everything. I doubt anyone of us would deny that even in a metaphysical sense 'we are', 'I think therefor I am'...
So if that statement were to stand alone, even athieists and agnostics
would have to agree ...[text shortened]... ave evolved to todays world.

In which direction?
There are many humorous things in the world: among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. ...[text shortened]... admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Originally posted by HalitoseAnd you are being closed minded enough to miss that whilst Einstein believed in God, he disagreed about your brand of Christianity as an institution. For him it was as simple as 'if God exists, then he exists and that is all I need to know'. Even as an atheist, I respect this view.
