Einstein was a German born brilliant physicist (1879-1955) who was famous for the discovery of the theory of relativity and the equation E=MC2, which really foreshadowed the development of the atomic bomb. His IQ was about 160 and he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. He died in Princeton, New Jersey in 1955.
Einstein was famous not only for physics but also his quotes:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Guilty?
Or perhaps this one “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I am not sure about the universe.”
During the days of Nazi Germany, he felt betrayed by the elites of Germany (the elites were the universities, the press and its newspaper editors, the authors and intellectual leaders) who publicly “professed” a love for freedom but gave their allegiance to Hitler.
But Einstein, who was Jewish, said this about the church:
“only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler’s campaign for suppressing the truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration for it because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced to confess that what I once despised, I now praise unreservedly.” (J. S. Conway, The Nazi Persecution of the Churches 1933-1945, an opening unnumbered page.)
In America, our universities, our media, our elites have suppressed the truth. The Church of Jesus Christ must have the courage to stand for the truth!
