Einstein, I recall, was concerned about the ill-effects of denying God and so obfuscated about the matter. And I suspect he was limited in his understanding of non-linear dynamics. Wasn't his wife a better mathematician? Or should I say his first one but I digress. Consider the butterfly-effect: The smallest of effects can lead to the greatest of consequences (covid-19 for example). Lorenz's equations, which model the climate, showed long term prediction is unattainable.
