“Anecdote of Einstein proving the existence of God to his professor”
What FACTLY found
here are no credible reports attributing this anecdote to Einstein. Further, there is no mention about this in ‘Einstein: A Life, a biography’ published in 1996. Available evidence suggests that Einstein was religious as a child, however, later on in life, he ‘abandoned his uncritical religious fervor, feeling he had been deceived into believing lies’
