What Einstein was able to do was - to use a cliche - think out of the box.
I think it's misleading to use a word like 'God' in the way Einstein did. I'm sorry that Einstein did. I think he was asking for trouble, and he certainly was misunderstood.
I like more the fact that I like to think out of the box. Thinking out of the box goes along with dressing out of the box and living out of the box.
Being able to ‘think out of the box’ presupposes you were able to think in it.
