While a brilliant physicist, Hawking generally embarrassed himself when he strayed into philosophy, theology or any metaphysical analysis.

God - AKA Mother Nature:

Hawkins was an observer of our universe - created by God. He made this comment - which shows he wasn’t so brilliant!

“For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse that was inflicted by God,” he adds. “I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature.”

Could his not accepting God be a result of his life-long illness?

I don't understand how anyone can say it's impossible there's a God. With all we're learning about DNA and the universe, it's impossible that coincidence could've created such intricate results.

And that is the point of view of scientists who say that science is not a means to give us answers like an oracle, as it is a tool and method that we employ to get specidic results, but it is not a “machine” of its own. Science does not explain things, it is man who is to interprete results to explain.

It is something genius’ do. You are long in one suit, and folks believe you are long in all suits.

H.L. Mencken said something to this effect about PhD’s.
