Planet Earth - Tailor Made to Support Life

And a quote... Noting his reference to God...

"The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics, but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man. What frightens us is not the explosive power of the atom bomb, but the equally explosive powers of human personalities.

"Man's skills have outstripped his morals. His engineering has leaped ahead of his wisdom. We cannot cancel or call back his scientific advance, but we can and must, if the world is to survive, help man to catch up. In God's name, if you still believe in God ... We must somehow get control of what science has given the world, or else we shall perish." - Albert Einstein

You highlighted the wrong phrase. The relevant phrase is the subsequent one - "if you still believe in God".

My body temperature has been measured daily for the last few months due to COVID precautions and it has stayed around 96*F and I have remained healthy . In which I remain thankful to my divine engineer!

You seem to run a couple of degrees cold. A friend of mine runs about two degrees hot.

He was appealing, for positive use rather than abuse of the products of science, to people he thought naive and weak - this is what he said about God and the bible:

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."​

Thank homeostasis

There's good evidence that average human body temperatures are lower than they were 100 years ago...

Mine's in the high 96⁰F's

Einstein was a pantheist.

I thought he played the flute.
