--- Quote from: Engraved on June 26, 2010, 08:27:48 pm ---He essentially said that there will be a religion that will be followed by everyone in the Universe, to avoid giving God a personality.

What forces scientists to say such things. Are they observant of all things going around them ? or experimentation with the life forms gives them a clue as to what will happen in future?
That prediction is the most flawed prediction i have ever seen but i believe people will somehow try to fit it in some situation and make it look real like they do with nostredamus

future, Einstein had predicted, will be a cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma
and theology.

Religion > Set of beliefs
Astar rightly explained, he meant that in the future, people will all be agreeing on a particular set of beliefs. With science progressing, assumptions will become facts. Cosmic religion, implying, nobody will have divergences in opinions. When science will have made everything crystal clear, it will be either you don't agree or you lost your senses.
Simple illustration: Far back in history, people believed the Earth was a flat mass, the Sun was a Dragon God, and the Sea was salty because a big giant had dumped its tears in it. But every of these beliefs has disappeared now, science has provided logic explanation to what we were unaware of.
It is believed people conceive of a superior power and cringe to it because they neither have understanding nor control on certain processes of life. Take now, we don't yet know whether the chicken or the egg came first. Even the theory of Evolution is not completely consistent.

Einstein was cunning, he never said he was talking about the near future or some more billions of years after. ;)
But yes, we cannot deny. People follow religion because science is (still) flawed. Nothing is explained totally nor clearly yet.
Astrophysicists claim there is a high probability of having extraterrestrial life, but science itself has calculated: the probability of our own Earth sustaining life is 1/(10^40)= coincidence.
That's why some people believe in God... because they cannot believe in coincidence.

science results in more questions, it will never find answers.
