Pantheism , the held belief that God & Nature are one & same , the sun is one star in a universe of uncounted other planets & stars all following the laws of nature and many of them inhabited with intelligent life . You can also say there's other hidden forces outside of Nature but all is still immanently operative in one ongoing orderly whole . (still much incomprehensible whole ) One of the first to bring this idea back to the forefront from classical times was the catholic priest mathematician Giordano Bruno in 1600ace and was burned at the stake for his Pantheism . en.wikipedia.org Albert Einstein's take ( and Stephen Hawkings as well ) In 2008, Albert Einstein's 1954 German letter in which he dismissed belief in God was auctioned off for more than $330,000 US. Einstein wrote, "the word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish." [16] "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly,” he wrote in another letter in 1954. Einstein relates his belief to Pantheism: "If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
