Why? I thought he didn’t believe in a “higher power”.

I’ve read his book, which oddly just seemed logical to me. Also it seems he was wrong about black holes? In the end, does he deserve being compared to the greats?

On the other hand Sir Isaac Newton was no atheist.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

God gave him an extra 50 years to get it right, for all accounts he did not and could be burning in hell today.

I am sad at Mr. Hawkings demise and his refusal to believe in the truth. I am no prophet, but I think I can say with some certainty that Stephen Hawking and his persistent unbelief will be forgotten soon...

Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Odd. This does not sound like something he would not have requested, seeing as he was not a Believer. I’m thinking the wife gave approval for it as a kind of status symbol.
