"Now, even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other, nevertheless there exist between the two strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies. Though religion may be that which determines the goal, it has, nevertheless, learned from science, in the broadest sense, what means will contribute to the attainment of the goals it has set up. But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind"
I took the liberty to search for what I think is the article where Albert Einstein said that sentence... The one about science and religion... As you can see, for him religion at best only gives you the goals, but it can never take you there... For that we have science... And faith is only needed when a scientist believes everything can be explained rationaly...
And the sentence before, as I already said, is a metaphor, in which god means the natural laws...
