Keep in mind here that Einstein was a physicist, rather than a biologist, so it\u2019s probably more reasonable to assume he is talking about the laws of nature rather than evolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>(<strong><em>Atheists only<\/em><\/strong>)\u00a0How important is atheism to your personal identity?
