It's easier to illustrate than explain, especially since this place defies explanation.

Well ok then, there you have it... Someone should call the EPA, or Army Corp of Engs. on them. That can't be good for the dirt.

I think it is far more honest for someone to be a confessed agnostic than an atheist. Personally, I have no problem believing that when God said "Let there be light," that was the moment of singularity and then the bigbang.
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
--- Quote is definately somewhere in the Bible (sorry can't think of the book, chapter, and verse at the moment)

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

From a letter Einstein wrote in English, dated 24 March 1954. It is included in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, published by Princeton University Press. Albert Einstein, Out of My Later Years (New York: Philosophical Library, 1950), p. 27.
"During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution, human fantasy created gods in man's own image who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate influence, the phenomenal world... The idea of God in the religions taught at present is a sublimation of that old conception of the gods. Its anthropomorphic character is shown, for instance, by the fact that men appeal to the Divine Being in prayers and plead for the fulfillment of their wishes... In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vase power in the hands of priests."

Why? Your own inability to let go of superstition perhaps? Nut up Klimmer, and own your "disbelief." It's easy. Watch. THERE IS NO GOD. See?

Yes, Eistein was an enigma.
One moment he says what you said above, then the next moment he is talking about knowing the mind of God, and trying to figure out how he (Einstein) would make the Universe if he had the chance.
Then Neils Bohr said, "Who is Eistein to know the mind of God?"
As Einstein got older he also drew nearer to Isreal, and his Jewish roots and helped their cause.
