In this way, explains acclaimed science writer Corey S. Powell, Einstein was creating a formula for a new kind of \"sci\/religion,\" one in which God was a factor, denoted by the Greek letter Lambda, and one that would pave the way for an entirely new gnostic era in the history of human spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorey Powell is the News Editor at \u003ci\u003eDiscover\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and a regular contributor.
