When you make such a thorough study, let us know. Til then, why do
you make unsupported assumptions? Many believe that a physicist does
his best work in his twenties and is thereafter "out to pasture." I
have seen much support for that view, although it is not an absolute.
Given that we have many, many quotes supporting some sort of
religiosity on the part of Einstein, one source to the contrary does
not by any means negate the body of evidence. Want to try to make a
case? Go ahead. I am listening.
