Question

Albert Einstein claimed that "the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research." How do you interpret this claim?

Answer 1

That studying science allows for understanding of the bigger universe all around us.

Einstein was a scientist and a religious man who believed that science would prove the power of a higher power. He also strove to understand the large scale of the universe and how all pieces fit together.

Answer 2

Explanation: Einstein claimed that the more he studied the cosmos, the more he was convinced that God existed. It should be emphasized that Einstein did not believe in the principle of the known God, who sets the rules for men and punishes them if they do not obey them. He considered it primitive. He regarded religion as an innate, spiritual, creative feeling that encourages man to study the cosmos. He claimed that this feeling hides the unprecedented possibilities that a person discovers all his/her life, a feeling connected with the infinite. It is the highest level of human opportunity, a religious feeling that emerges from the cosmos, permeates people and connects them to the cosmos, a feeling that cannot be explained due to language limitations, there is no term for such religious cosmic feeling. Unless someone has experienced that feeling and understands what it is about.

In a word, it is a feeling that keeps people constantly in the truth while engaging in scientific research..
