    Albert Einstein in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas (Einstein's secretary) and Banesh Hoffman, and published by Princeton University Press.

    Einstein's views on science and religion are readily available in print and on the web, but there is no compulsion for other scientists to agree with his personal views.

    The final irony is that Einstein's remark God does not play dice is not a statement about God, but about quantum mechanics, and this is a famous example of a case where the great man was quite likely incorrect.The question is still open, and will not be resolved by appeals to Einstein's authority.
