An old Einstein letter, in which the famous physicist tells a religious studies teacher and her students that science"supersedes" religious creation and that God can be thought of as"analogous to humans," has been put up for sale for $125,000.

The physicist was raised Jewish and maintained his association with Jewish people, despite not believing in the God depicted in the Torah. Einstein spent his life trying to explain how the universe was formed without divine influence.
