When in the Course of human events, it becomes
Questions necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to
Notes

Refection
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of
Annotation Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, --That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Warm-up- Please COPY The response from A. Einstein
Albert Einstein’s response to Phyllis: Jan 24, 1936.
(pg.9)
Dear Phyllis,
I will attempt to reply to your question as simply as I can.
Questions Here is my answer:
Notes
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the
Refection affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature.
Annotation Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the
course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a
supernaturally manifested wish.
Balance However, we must concede that our actual knowledge of
Concede these forces is imperfect, so that in the end the belief in
the existence of a final, ultimate spirit rests on a kind of
faith. Such belief remains widespread even with the
current achievements in science.
E. P. L But also, everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit
of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest
in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to
that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a
religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite
different from the religiosity of someone more naive.
With cordial greetings,
Your A. Einstein
