The Statement of the Legend

          I'm a high school student and I want to know more about Albert Einstein. So I set an interview for him and he gladly accepted it.

ME: Thank you Dr. Einstein for accepting the interview.
EINSTEIN: Thank you for inviting me. I am pleased to be with you here.
ME: I would like to know more about you Dr.Einstein.
EINSTEIN: Well, let's get started.
ME: Do you mind me asking you to tell a little about your childhood?
EINSTEIN: No not at all, lets see here.. I was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th of 1874. I was raised mostly in Munich, Germany. One very odd thing that my mother told me was that I didn't speak until I was three years old. My father owned a small electrochemical shop, it failed in 1890 then my dad moved us to Million, Italy.
ME: Could you tell me some of your famous publications or maybe some famous quotes also? If possible, also some major achievements.
EINSTEIN: Sure,… well in 1905 I published three of my very famous papers; my Special Theory of Relativity, my paper on Brownian motion, and finally my paper of the Quantum of Light and Sound. "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." and "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." were some of my famous quotes.
ME: To your mind, Dr. Einstein, is there ever a conflict between science and religion?
EINSTEIN: Oh yes! For example, when a certain religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the bible, there is a conflict. Religion should not intervene into the sphere of science as it did against the doctrines of Galileo and Darwin. Conversely, science should not interfere into the sphere of religion. There is room, however, for a reciprocal relationship between religion and science. Religion can determine worthy goals and create the inspiration to achieve those goals. Science can make it possible to achieve those goals. Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.”“Oh yes! For example, when a certain religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the bible, there is a conflict.
ME: And my final question, How has science played a role in your personal theology, Dr. Einstein?
EINSTEIN: Ah, my boy, we don’t have enough time for that whole story, but I’ll try to explain it to you. Although it is true that the goal of science is to discover rules which permit the association of and foretelling of facts, that is not its only potential. Whoever has undergone the intense experience of being part of a successful scientific advance cannot help but be moved by the profound reverence for rationality it manifests in our very existence. That person achieves an emancipation from the shackles of personal hopes and desires and attains a humble attitude of mind concerning his relationship to mankind and nature. This attitude appears to me to be religious in the highest sense of the word. And so, it seems to me that science not only purifies the religious impulse of dross anthropomorphism, but it also contributes to a religious spiritualization of our understanding of life itself. If one were to take the highest principals of the Jewish-Christian tradition out of its religious form and put it in purely human terms, it might be stated thus: free and responsible development of individuals so that they may place their powers freely and gladly in the service of humankind.
ME: Thank you so much Dr. Einstein
EINSTEIN: Your welcome

Thank you for listening
