He wanted to know where our world comes from and where it was going.

He wanted to understand how the remote stillness of the heavens relates to the erratic, ever-changing events here on earth.

Above all, he wanted to know if the answers to these questions would bring him closer to a higher authority.

So Einstein put "God in the Equation"

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science," Albert Einstein once said, "becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe -- a spirit vastly superior to that of man." This mysterious component, which Einstein called a "cosmological constant," would eventually work its way into his world-shattering theory of relativity. In this way, explains acclaimed science writer Corey S. Powell, Einstein was creating a formula for a new kind of "sci/religion," one in which God was a factor, denoted by the Greek letter Lambda, and one that would pave the way for an entirely new gnostic era in the history of human spirituality.
