im with you Tucker......these so-called brilliant minds, spend years doing intellectual somersaults to come up with something, anything that points away from the obvious implications of ‘fine tuning’, like hawking notes, to yet more bizarre humanist nonsense.....
I didn’t mention this in my first reply because I feel truly sorry for the poor guy.....
I think Stephan Hawking with his severe physical impairments is mad at God for his being born with impairments and having to live the way he does. It’s a shame, too, because if he correctly played “the hand” he’s been dealt he could at least have a happy outcome later on.
Think of Helen Keller, born blind and deaf, but who still worshipped God and held no bitterness for her birth defects. Or Fanny Crosby, who also was blind, but who loved God, praised Jesus as her Savior and wrote many hundreds of gospel hymns and songs. I anticipate meeting both of these ladies in Heaven some day.
The other side of the coin is little old Stephen Hawking, mad at God; denying Special Creation and dreaming up wild BS scenarios of how the universe may have come into being. And sadly, unlike Keller and Crosby, Hawking is engaged in a spite-filled battle he can’t win....any more than a gnat can win a battle with the grille of a 70 mph Mack truck!
God loves Stephan Hawking every bit as much as he loves you, me or Billy Graham; but if Hawking insists on seeking “revenge” against God, and refusing the full and FREE Salvation God is offering him, he’ll wind up in the lake of fire along with all the other foolish individuals who stiff-armed God, no matter what their imagined “case” against Him.
The best thing Hawking could do is to retain a good “attorney”.....
1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1st Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1st Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1st Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all.....
Stevie needs to latch onto that omnipotent mediator mentioned in verse 5, who can save his soul, give him joy and serenity in spite of his present difficulties, a la Joni Earickson Tata; and in a few short years, give him a perfect glorified body for all eternity, just like Christ had when He walked out of the tomb on that first Easter morning.
It’s either that....or the lake of fire....and it is purely Hawking’s choice. Seems like a no-brainer, to me!
