# Is that actually true?
The "God does not play dice" comment re. quantum mechanics was not an admission that he believed there was a deity involved - he was just being poetic* and it was taken out of context.

*And there, of course, is the problem, because no one expects physicists/mathematicians/patent office clerks to be poetic...

# I believe it was just near the end of his lifetime when Quantum theory started developing when he started working on his own unifying equation which factors in space for a god.
He obviously didn't literally write god into his equations, because that would be mathematically bizaare. I think this was just a short time before he died, so he obviously didn't finish it.
