Einstein, who was Jewish and who declined an offer to be the state of Israel's second president, also rejected the idea that the Jews are God's favoured people.
No, in the letter he states most likely that the "Word OF God"...the media removes one little word, "of," in order to make a juicier story out of this.
"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

so now I agree with Einstein's explanation of space/time/gravity/light and also his opinion of the chosen people myth.

In 1954, a year before his death, he spoke of wishing to "experience the universe as a single cosmic whole". He was also fond of using religious flourishes, in 1926 declaring that "He [God] does not throw dice" when referring to randomness thrown up by quantum theory.
Despite his categorical rejection of conventional religion, Brooke said that Einstein became angry when his views were appropriated by evangelists for atheism. He was offended by their lack of humility and once wrote. "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."

baleta gobez! [even more genius!]
if einstein would have just tooken some mushrooms he might have understand that his equation e=mc2 is exactly what he dreamed of, "experience the universe as a single cosmic whole". According to a simplistic interpretation, all matter is merely condensed energy, therefore everything is just energy, and therefore there is already a oneness in this universe, a cosmic whole that connects everything together. any deadhead knows that.
