So you reckon that Albert didn't mean what he said?

You are funny Grand but to me your point is a bit cunning.  Rolleyes

So are you, Little Rik (no one is funnier than you, I'm sure), but have you not heard of poetry? Or should we take people for granted that they literally believe the sun rises in the east when they talk about the sun rising?

Observe these quotes from Einstein carefully:

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist."

"My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment."
