I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider
ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman
authority behind it.

The mystical trend of our time, which shows itself particularly in
the rampant growth of the so-called Theosophy and Spiritualism, is
for me no more than a symptom of weakness and confusion.
Albert Einstein
Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions and
combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without
a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning.
Albert Einstein
To Einstein, an unquestioning belief in "supernatural
answers" is simplistic and "a symptom of weakness and
confusion" [/b]
If Science cannot provide answers to a certain thing or
phenomenon, is that considered supernatural or
superstition?
