Nah, it never moved from that position. Hawking, like the rest of his peers, had ideas about the universe, but they were nothing more than that. Even with Hawking's IQ, the universe and its origins are well beyond mankind's ability to grasp. And that's Ok. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Ahhh Google....that's so precious..... From their Homepage Physicist.Philosopher._________Stephen Hawking 1942-2018 I can't bring myself to type the third word. Suffice to say they considered him a sandwich. I have the heart of a lion.......and a lifetime ban from the Toronto Zoo.- Unknown | |||

| No double standards |
Some years ago Hawking did a luncheon chat at a Bay Area college, I cancelled my class and was able to attend. He spent most of the time describing the technology used for his communications; they once changed some of the electronics which changed his "voice". He mentioned that a colleague once gave him a copy of Playboy magazine, but lamented he couldn't make use of it. His parting comment was along the lines of "the avg politician speaks at 100 words per minute, but the information content is zero. If you don't understand that, politicians will take advantage of you". I believe that when we leave this life we move on to the next. And Hawking may be rethinking his views of the cosmos about now. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Facts are stubborn things |
He is proof that believing your own press is dangerous. He was highly respected in his field and everyone told him how smart he was. He assumed that his "smartness" extended to all of life and not just his field. When he started commenting on things beyond his field - politics, religion, the price of tea in China; he proved he wasn't as smart as everyone told him he was... Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||

Psalm 14:1 - "The fool says in his heart, "there is no God"... So please media, tell me how wise this guy really was. | |||

Too clever by half |
They will certainly conflate smart with wise. Smart, he was, wise, he was not. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

I truly did not "get" the Cult of Hawking. On a par with Einstein? Give me a break. IMO, he was given extra latitude because of his disabilities. Cruel? Maybe.

I know nothing about this guy, other than he had theories, wrote books, was handicapped and was reportedly smart. Did he create anything tangible beyond books and a few kids? Any inventions benefiting society? Mathematical formulas, if so what are they? Are our life's better somehow from something he created? “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

I can't answer any of that but just wanted to say that I think they are pretty damn good questions. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

In my view it takes an awful lot of Faith to believe the grand design of the universe came together from one Big Bang or series of Bangs. Blew up a lot of things with fireworks as a kid and I failed to design anything other than bits and pieces of what was blown up. From an explosion it all came together. Yeah, right, not buying it. In my view the simplest explanation is a creator, intelligent design, God. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

This guy's rise and ride to fame is his disability, pure and simple. No one outside the physics world would have known who he was, had he been roaming around on his feet. Q | |||
