Is God playing dice with Einstein?

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." -- Albert Einstein

About Richard Dawkins new book, The God Delusion

"Still, I suppose I shouldn't be so ungrateful. You have written a magnificent book that nails once and for all the jelly of religion to the tree of logic. I feel like I've read the diary of another who dared to think things the rest of the world seems to be ashamed by... you have made an old man very happy by clearly, fairly and absolutely placing the current clouds of mystical guff in the fan of common-sense. I need a lottery win and I shall then get a copy of 'The God Delusion' into every hotel room in the world..." -An Injured Fan
