NEW YORK — Did Albert Einstein believe in God? Two Einstein artifacts up for auction in New York contained clues to the spiritual beliefs of the 20th century’s best-known thinker. The Bible sold for $68,500 at Bonham’s in New York in 2013 and the letter to Gutkind sold for $404,000 at Bloomsbury Auctions in London in 2008. Walter Isaacson, the author of the 2007 biography “Einstein: His Life and Universe,” said the great man’s views on religion are hard to pin down. “There was a delightful belief that a genius who could fathom the laws of the universe could give us the answer to timeless questions such as about the existence of God,” Isaacson said.
