Well, they are Man’s theories. QED.

He will get a chance to find out. He's lived a long, long time with his condition.

I have great respect for any man than can sit in the Issac Newton chair, but he will get a chance to do some original (for him) reasearch not long after his last breath.

but in a new book The Grand Design, he concludes that the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics.

And who created the laws of physics??

The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He does not throw dice.

—Einstein, writing to Max Born, 4 December 1926

The good doctor will have quite a scientific discovery the moment following his final breath.

Hawkings cannot account for the creation of information that controls all of life...all of the Universe!

Idiot. Next to Christianity, of which I wish I subscribed, the only reasonable position is agnosticism.

Opinions about an unprovable hypothesis are just that, unprovable. Would it surprise you to know that I am an agnostic?

And it matters what Hawking thinks for what reason?

“In any case I am convinced that He does not throw dice.”

It’s more like a chess game, with an immeasurable number of pieces, and an infinity of squares to move around in.

Poor Stephen Hawking—doesn’t he want a new, flawless body given by the Almighty when this life ends? Hasn’t he suffered long enough in that crippled up flesh bag he lugs around every day? Prayers that he comes out of that black hole and into the Light of truth via faith in the Supreme Scientist of the whole universe.

I should have stated that this was Einstein’s response to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

When I was young I did eagerly frequent,
Doctor, Saint, and heard great argument,
About it and about, but evermore came out,
The same door which in I went.

C. S. Lewis addressed Hawking’s kind of objection over half a century ago when he pointed out that the rules of accounting carried out to all eternity could never produce a dime (or as Lewis put it in his accustomed British currency, sixpence) in a bank account.
