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? Is there some moment after passing that the individual is given an opportunity to accept the greatest of all gifts? An infinitely better proposition to be saved through faith and know that you/I right now have eternal life, but I assume many of us wonder about those who are not.

As Atheism became the fad of the day, he jumped on the ‘No God’ bandwagon. As Jed Clampette would say ‘Pit a full’.

There was no joke. Just some in appropriate stupidity on display.

Simple when you assume that this universe is just one of an infinite number of universes and they have expanded and collapsed back down into a singularity, had another big bang ad infinitum. You also assume that every black hole creates another universe inside of it, thus you have the infinite monkeys banging on an infinite number of typewriters.

My mom was slurring an odd word on occasion in the fall of 1990, when her dentist sent her to a specialist because of it. She died just before election night in 1992. She loved politics. Her ALS was the kind that hits speech, swallowing, and breathing the hardest. The other type goes more after ambulatory parts of the body.

I was shocked at his vitriol later in life. One can hardly blame him with his condition, but his pointed leftism was disconcerting even taking that into account.

Vicious anti-Israel froth from him too -- despite the fact that Israeli pharma was keeping him alive. Hope he repented. Always thought he was WAY overrated as a physicist.

I’ve never understood why we were all supposed to be in awe of this guy.

Sort of like Jennifer Anniston.

Seriously, the show is getting long in the tooth. Maybe Hawking’s passing will speed up the end of TBBT.
