To the Best of Our Knowledge 

PROMO       1/6/2008     "Einstein, God, and the Universe"
*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." 
In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, what exactly did Einstein
conclude about religion?  We'll hear from leading scientists and
religious scholars, including Richard Dawkins, Steven Weinberg and
Elaine Pagels, as well as Einstein biographer Walter Isaacson.

            Jungian analyst David Lindorff is the author of "Pauli
            and Jung: The Meeting of Two Great Minds."  He tells Anne
            Strainchamps about Pauli's therapy with Jung which
            focused on Pauli's dreams, and led the physicist to an
            interest in mysticism and alchemy.  Also, David Leavitt
            is the author of a novel called "The Indian Clerk" which
            tells the story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the uneducated
            Indian who amazed Cambridge University with his
            mathematical discoveries. Leavitt tells Jim Fleming how
            Ramanujan became friends with mathematician G.H. Hardy.
