In a 2011 interview for a Discovery Channel special, he was quoted as saying: “We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either.

Interesting, he spent a lifetime of using unfathomable and sometimes hard to follow explanations to explain life and the universe, yet he chose the simpler route to explain why God, heaven, and the afterlife do not exist. No wonder he believed in Global Warming and that the planet will be dead in 200 years if we don't find another planet to live on.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption-- that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD." 1Corinthians 1:28-31

Proper headline should be, "Stephen Hawking Dies & Joins Satan In Hell!" Sad, he could have had eternal life, but he chose eternal damnation instead.

I will let God do the judging here.

Declaring the eternal destiny of a particular individual, without complete knowledge of what is in that individual’s heart, is well beyond my expertise.
