Einstein Vs Phyllis

Sixth graders, generally curious people, learn about so many new things and attempt to make sense of it all. They may notice the overlap of religion and science and have many questions pertaining to these two areas. Phyllis noticed this and began to question how faith and science go together, or if they do at all. Particularly, she was curious if scientists pray, and if so, what for. In order to attempt to find an answer for Phyllis, Einstein shared some of his past experiences and knowledge, along with his own view on the situation. Einstein answered her in a letter by telling her scientists don’t pray but instead believe in the laws of nature based on a sort of faith.
Einstein approached answering the broad question by using his personal opinion. He said, “Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this
When they tie in facts, or even religious views that provide emotions, to back up what they discover, it provides them a feeling of fulfilment. Scientists differ on whether they credit these feelings to faith or facts. “The pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling which is different for scientists than the religiosity of someone more naive.” Many scientists believe they don’t have faith because they have studied science and discovered the meaning behind things in a more technical way.
Einstein appealed to logos by bringing up some valid points, such as how science has proven theories that people turn to faith to answer. As an intelligent man, this helps Einstein's argument. He not only expresses his knowledge, but also takes into account his audience. Given that the letter was written to a sixth grader, Einstein tried to give her a more simplified answer so she would understand his response without getting too detailed. He executed this through his use of simple
