Can you explain to me "cosmic religious feeling" Einstein refers to and how it relates to religion?

Question

What does he believe in? I understand he does have a religious sense but is he referring to science being an alternative source of faith. I am confused.

Answer 1

Dear Fresca. it is very hard to explain and satisfy your question, although i can give you the answer. occultism,

pagan beliefs and ancient TRUE big order cosmic power awareness and old civilization's knowlage of our cosmos in a VACUUM.. einstein knew about the secret teaching of all ages...

Answer 2

Examine the work of Mircea Eliade and Schleirmacher's sense of absolute dependence, as well Paul Tillich's idea of ultimate concern. Also, Immanuel Kant's sense of the sublime might also be helpful. Einstein is refering to an impression or evocation that is stirred within us when one considers seriously the magnitude of the universe and the mystery inherent in existence itself. He is not refering to science being an alternative source of faith, as he clearly notes the distinction between the two in terms of their forms of reasoning.

Answer 3

As I understand him, Einstein did not believe in God or an afterlife. He experienced a sense of wonder and awe in contemplating the cosmos and felt that was all one needed in regard to religion.



An opinion with which I heartily agree.



At most, one might regard him as a pantheist (in a very broad, nonsupernatural sense of the term).
