Thanks for the post. It really captured my thoughts on Hawking, probably like a lot of people.

Stephan Hawking is dead.

His soul was lost.

He could not see past the big bang.

My God shows up at unexpected times to let me know he’s there and greze the skids for me though difficult times.

Stephan could never allow even the possibility of God.

You can never know God if you never believe.

So typical of the self righteous left.

Hawking’s last words should be - “I AM just land fill”. ...and he is. Sad.

we were humans in the hands of an angry universe.


The universe isn’t angry, just preoccupied.

Worse, Hawking was convinced that humanity was facing extinction. He once claimed that humans would have to abandon Earth in a century...He was equally fearful of artificial intelligence ... If humans or their machines weren’t the agents of our civilization’s demise, then Mother Nature would intervene..

Imagine what the media would say if Billy Graham or Rush Limbaugh said things like this.

Hawking was proof that brilliance in one field does not necessarily translate into common sense in others. Projecting one's personal fears about mortality onto the species says more about the speaker than the topics being espoused.

Presumably Stephen now has a wider perspective on these topics, starting with puzzlement over still having a perspective at all.

He could not see past the big bang.

Science cannot see past 10^(-43) seconds after the big bang. It's the end of the Plank Epoch. It belongs to God.

I’m eternally shallow so all I’ll say is that this will provoke Daniel Day-Lewis out of retirement to play him in a movie.

Hawkings was a fool. (Romans 1:20-22)

20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools

It’s funny how people who think it’s absurd that there could be a God who created everything, have no problem believing everything created itself.

I always liked the quote that South Park’s Trey Parker said,

“Basically ... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous — the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah ... there’s this big giant universe and it’s expanding, it’s all gonna collapse on itself and we’re all just here just ‘cause ... just ‘cause’. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”

Every day I go outside to see if the minerals in the soil have created a Dodge Hellcat for me but so far, no joy.

Stupid universe.

I think it’s human nature. The older you get, and things change (usually for the worse), you see the negatives as the beginning of the end of times.

LOL! Yep, no doubt and he will win an Oscar just because. What gets me about guy is how does one retire from a job where you “work” a few months every few years? Oh yeah, that sounds exhausting. Im betting he comes back in a few years once he sees how much the funds are decreasing.

Well, that’s it - he runs out of funds although, I have to say, Day-Lewis is one of the few modern actors who really delivers.

But no matter what, you can depend on a Hawking bio-pic!

His encroaching mortality without hope influenced his philosophy.

I think Hawking is a little past the “encroaching mortality” point!
