Dear Ms. Super Agent:

Albert Einstein would’ve been a brilliant defense attorney. Why? Because he believed in determinism—which would be The Albert Einstein Defense.

A breathless gallery would excitedly wait, then the great scientist would open with the following statement:

A God who rewards and punishes is inconceivable . . . for the simple reason that a man’s actions are determined by necessity, external and internal, so that in God’s eyes he cannot be responsible, any more than an inanimate object is responsible for the motions it undergoes. ALBERT EINSTEIN Religion and Science. N.Y. Times Magazine, November 9, 1930. The Great Quotations, Compiled by George Seldes, Published by Pocket Books, New York, A Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc.

What caused Einstein to say this?
The principle of cause and effect prompted him. It is the most well-known scientific principle in the world and it is recognized by scientists and global citizens alike.
This universal principle doesn’t just rule the birds and the bees, the mountains and the rivers, and the stars and the planets. It is in firm control of all life, including human beings. This is why Einstein said—“he cannot be responsible.”

CRIMINALS COULD SOON PLEAD ‘MY GENES MADE ME DO IT.’ (From The Toledo Blade, Bar Harbor, Maine)
Growing evidence that a person’s genes influence behavior may create serious dilemmas for law enforcement . . . a noted geneticist said . . . “Genes do appear to influence behavior,” said Dr. Leroy Hood, chairman of the department of molecular biotechnology at the University of Washington in Seattle.
“Since our system of law is based on free will and individual responsibility, could a future criminal argue extenuating circumstances because his genes made him commit the criminal act?”

If Albert lived in our time he might have made use of my novel, Why Does The Lion Roar? http://leeherald-partonelion.blogspot.com/

Attorney Einstein would’ve salivated over the link below. One article concerns people whose “unconscious minds had already caused them to push the button before they had consciously decided to do so”.














Dig right in, Professor Einstein, help yourself.
