Even though I do respect Hawking as a brilliant scientist that he is, he fails massively when he afirms something of that magnitude, which is pathetic. He might as well show me the proofs that God didn't create the Universe, instead of assuming and blabbering that he didn't. As a devout non-believer that I am, I, nevertheless, demand proof that A or B exist/don't exist to make a conclusion. That's called good science.






Hawking is not about good science. The only thing that made a name for him was proven wrong and he even admitted it. If he was not a cripple no one would know him. That is what he is known for being a cripple.




He backs nothing up with facts. NOTHING he makes wild claims that he does not even try to prove. He is a snake oil sales man.

I am sorry, I am not trying to debate opinions, but facts. If his peers consider him to be the greatest theoretical physicist of his time, not to mention a true authority on black holes, which are simply the most confusing "events" tha occur in the universe, so I won't argue that. One thing is to have an opinion regarding facts, another is to be stubborn and ignore the facts. You could say, though, that because his field of expertise is THEORETICAL, he could very well be wrong, but what you're saying is that he's not even a real scientist. Sorry, that is pathetic and uninformed.

I see you used a common, yet effective brainwashing technique here in your post. Have you done this before, was it by accident, or did you simply repeat an argument that you picked up somewhere else? I'm not criticizing you for doing it, I just wanted to point that out and ask you where you got it. I'm referring, of course, to the technique in particular in which you ask your target audience three questions that the target audience will (to the speaker) obviously respond to with a 'yes' and then follow it with a proposed idea or rhetorical question of which the preceding three questions have absolutely no relevance.
As for the God vs. Science debate, I knew I would be kicking myself for clicking on this thread, however I would like to point out to both sides that the Big Bang Theory was first proposed by Georges Lemaitre, a Roman Catholic PRIEST. The point is that there is no God vs. Science debate because one has nothing to do with the other.
Show of hands, how many people who have an opinion on Stephen Hawking's book have actually read the book or even plan to?

I watched like 7 parts of Master of the Universe and i must give props to Stephen Hawking regardless of what he believes. The man is more than handicapped and he still isn't giving up the fight for searching for the truth. I wonder if Hawking ever thought about a creator existing without rules so to speak. The god of the bible seems like a tyrant and I don't blame Hawking for opposing. I wonder if he gets head just for the sake of getting head.
