Apparently, someone asked Albert Einstein if he believed in God? This is part of the reply he gave. The rest of the reply is in the link.
"We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how."
Like a library, the universe shows intelligent design. Some humans are interested in solving the mystery of the "who and how."
How are you doing in your search?
Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can de...

@kanuck1 Yup, the parable was impressive. The metaphor brilliant. I meant to say that Einstein, a great genius, considered his self of limited capacity to conceive the whole scope and spectrum of the universe.

What if we looked in that vast library, and found a book with our own name on it?
Apparently, according to the Christian Bible, God has such a book, with our name in it too, called, "the book of life."
