Einstein of course believed in mathematical laws of
nature, so his idea of a God was at best someone who formulated
the laws and then left the universe alone to evolve according to
these laws. He saw the hand of God in the precise nature of
physical laws, in their mathematical beauty and elegance, and in
their simplicity. To him, the very fact that there were natural laws
that the human mind could discover was evidence of a God, not a
God who superseded these laws but one who created them.
second part of Einstein’s statement, the
part about not playing dice. This relates to Einstein’s reaction to
the part of Nature described by Quantum Mechanics, which is
undoubtedly one of the pillars of modern physics. He felt that
natural laws could not be like the throw of dice, with inherent
randomness or probability.
