Ah, creationists and how they love to use misinformation, taking quotations out of their respective context and thus altering their meanings.
Quote:
"Science without Religion Is Lame, Religion without Science Is Blind"
This is what Albert Einstein wrote in his letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind, in response to his receiving the book "Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt". The letter was written on January 3, 1954, in German, and explains Einstein's personal beliefs regarding religion and the Jewish people; it was put on sale one year later and remained into a personal collection ever since. Now the letter is again on auction in London and has a starting price of 8,000 sterling pounds.
The letter states pretty clearly that Einstein was by no means a religious person - in fact, the great physicist saw religion as no more than a "childish superstition". "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this", Einstein wrote.

A good guideline is that if a site looks like it might be made by creationists, never ever believe anything they say without thoroughly checking sources first. They are deliberately spreading misinformation in order to manipulate you.
