No. This isn't the part of Hawking's theory the he has revised.

"See my post up above. It's always amusing to me that scientists would be so much smarter and save a lot of wasted research time if they'd only take the Bible seriously."

Indeed.   

Unfortunately, the monstrous ego of man, especially within the contemporary academic community; "rationalism" and "modernism," forbids the very thought of introducing God into the equation; indeed, their hostility toward God which desperately drives them to endeavor to prove His "nonexistence" through their own intellectual strivings.

It's always amusing to me that people would be so much smarter and save a lot of wasted time if only they'd take science seriously

[RightWingAtheist]

Scientists aren't trying to prove or disprove the existence of God, they're just trying to explain how things actually are. The hostility many theists have towards science can only be ascribed to insecurity, a fear that they might actually be wrong, not at all disimilar to the refusal of liberals to admit the failure of socialism and big government.

So, does the black hole take requests?

Hopefully I can simplify this seemingly abrasive question that has provoked countless arguments and debates here on FR.

Science is the art of discovering how the ENGINE works.
Religion is the art of discovering who is the ENGINEER.

[JudyB1938]

Oh, but I DO take science very seriously. Science explains everything. It's just that scientists don't know it all yet.

I know you don't believe it, but I believe God is the Ultimate Scientist. After all, he's the author of it all.

Mike, read what this FReeper posted here. He's a good Christian I have respected for a long time.

"If the Milky Way galaxy swallows the Large Magellanic Cloud, the black hole will light up," Dr. Koekemoer explained, adding, "It's been hungry a long time."

I will post more on this when I get back home to my books and notes.
(since I did not bring my LT this time, I am stuck with this hotel web TV and it is very hard to make it do anything useful including even just typing)

Long before any infalling material, whether astronaut or gas cloud, reached the point of no return, it would be accelerated to nearly the speed of light and heated to millions of degrees, sparking X-rays and high-energy particles,

Or so it would appear to us.
