Steve Paulson
Albert Einstein died more than half a century ago, but there’s still a raging debate over what he thought about religion. He once said Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Steve Paulson speaks with several scientists, religious scholars and atheists about Albert Einstein’s religious beliefs. We hear from Richard Dawkins, Elaine Pagels, and Einstein biographer Walter Isaacson who debate what Einstein meant by “god.”
