Lucky you. Was his intelligence so overwhelming in real life as it seems via his books?

The Theory of Everything, a fine film, told his story from the point of view of his Christian wife/girlfriend. He was a professed atheist all his life, even though she showed him God’s love in action as he grew weaker and weaker physically.

Hopefully he repented before the end. He was a smart man.

If an individual during his mortal life does not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, is unredeemed from his sin, yet commits no great evil, could it be that our loving God would still accept him in Heaven? I know the Scriptures say otherwise, but could we in any way be misinterpreting them?

"All models are wrong, some are useful." That observation applies to all mathematical models of how the universe works as well as all religious models. Models are simplifications to match our brain size and capacity to understand. It's important to always remember that while models are sometimes highly useful they are never the whole story. It is certain our interpretations of scripture are at least partly wrong as are our interpretations in science.

Groupthink in both science and religion is used to propagate them, often for the financial gain of others. Neither needs groupthink though and we should always be suspicious of anyone claiming certainty or demonizing others that do not agree.

Punk Floyd used his voice in the song Keep Talking. Good song.

There’s a difference between models and revelation, Sparky.
Which is why the scientists are resentful of Faith.

it’s the parable of the vineyard laborers. The bottom line being that it’s not our place to sit in the judgement seat. But to show the came kind of mercy, compassion and tolerance that we’ve been shown by the father towards us. So you’ve been working in the vineyard all of your life. If hawking is welcomed in covered by the blood, are we going to be the ones to complain to the owner that we should get twice the reward?

so RIP Stephen Hawking
The brief history of time was a brilliant book.
May you be welcomed into the arms of the angels.

‘Even God Himself said in the book of Ezekiel that He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.’

if He takes no pleasure in it, and He’s an omniscient and omnipotent deity who can change it all at will, then why does He allow it to happen...?

I for one hope you do not see him in hell and prefer you be in Heaven.
