Einstein and Fairy Tales

Someone shared this in a group.

Apparently, there is perception that Science and Scientists are religiously naturalist and they abhor any supernatural idea. Thats why the concepts like religion and religious people are / have been a hindrance to progress of science.

How do you see this statement of Einstein in favor of fairy tales?

Have you ever read or encouraged your children to read fairy tales? How was that helpful in developing intelligence?

Re: Einstein and Fairy Tales

Maybe he thinks fairy tales help them be more open to thinking out of the box.

I like fairy tales myself,but I don't think they do much to develop a child's intelligence.

Re: Einstein and Fairy Tales

I can not say if reading fairy tales only make an intelligent.

Re: Einstein and Fairy Tales

He doesn't say 'only' fairytales
