I completely agree!!! And Amen!!! Truly sad, I have a couple of friends that are atheists. They spend and inordinate amount of time, trying to debunk God, the bible, heaven, ect. If there is no God, and they truly believe that. Why do they spend so much time devoted to trying to debunk it all?
Maybe for the same reason people spend so much time trying to prove there is a God and their beliefs are correct?

I agree. I believe that deep down most hardcore atheists (the type who feel the need to “prove” that God does not exist) do know that there is a God, but are too proud or scared of the knowledge of their own condemnation to humble themelves to acknowledge the obvious fact that God exists.
I think agnostics and nominal “christians” or nominal adherents to other faiths that are the real “atheists”. If someone goes to church now and then (or even every week) but doesn’t really believe, and doesn’t really care, he is much closer to a true “atheist”.
If one spends any significant amount of time thinking about God (even if only to “debunk” Him) that person must have some sort of belief in God. Does Hawking feel the need to debunk Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny?
Real “atheists” don’t think about God much at all, and live their lives without regard to His existence.
I pray that God will open Hawking’s eyes and draw him to repentence, before it is too late, and use him to further demonstrate His great Mercy and Glory.
