Auction for Einstein 'God Letter' Opens with Anonymous $3 Million Bid




An eBay auction for an original letter handwritten by Albert Einstein in which he expresses his views on the existence of God opened tonight (Oct. 8), and in about 10 minutes an anonymous bidder named o***h had placed the first offer at the opening price of $3 million.

In the letter, Einstein calls belief in religion and God "pretty childish" and ridicules the idea that the Jews are a chosen people.
