Gawking hates himself. That's why he is going to Hell to burn in a lake of fire for his stupidity, arrogance, ignorance, blasphemy, idiocy, and deluded free thinking.

I really despise anyone who can't grasp the fact that there is a God.

I can not grasp why you despise people who can't grasp God.

I am pagan, I believe in more then one God. But I don't shove my belief down others throats and accept that there are people, that doesn't push their religion or beliefs down my throat.

It's their life and people can live how ever they want in the Now.

"While not dealing with recent developments in astrophysics or discussing chaos theory, Hawking and Mlodinow's fascinating book, with its wonderful illustrations, takes us through the various supernatural and scientific cosmological theories that mankind has developed since earliest times to explain our universe. Since the Ionian intellectual awakening, when the likes of Aristarchus (310 BC-230 BC) calculated that the sun was bigger than the Earth and that our world orbited a star like other stars, people have feared that such ideas contradict the notion of a creator and that without faith in divine beings we should sink into immorality and decadence. Descartes had, like Newton and Darwin, no problem enquiring into the fundamentals of his surroundings while maintaining a profound faith in God. Indeed, some suggest that a complex, mysterious multiverse only proves the existence of an equally complex and mysterious deity. Certainly ideas first found in the realm of metaphysics continue to migrate to the realm of physics.

If nature is governed by laws, argue the authors, then three questions arise: 1) What is the nature of those laws? 2) Are there exceptions to the laws (for example, miracles)? 3) Is there only one set of possible laws?

"The Grand Design" sets out to answer these questions, demonstrating how we are dependent on models of reality that, with investigation, can sometimes change. And their arguments do indeed bring us closer to seeing our world, universe and multiverse in terms that a previous generation might easily have dismissed as supernatural. This succinct, easily digested book could perhaps do with fewer dry, academic groaners, but Hawking and Mlodinow pack in a wealth of ideas and leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity.

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes."

"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."

---------

I'm sure this will be quite unpalatable to the believers.

I really despise anyone who can't grasp that there is no PROOF of the existence of any god and therefore it is NOT a fact that there is, but only a belief that there is, with that belief of what god exists differing by various religions.

But actually, I don't really despise folks like you, but I do feel very sorry for you.

It's quite pathetic to not only not know the difference between a fact/truth and an opinion/belief but much more pathetic that you don't even know the definition of a fact/truth and an opinion/belief.

BTW, I happen to believe in a god, but as a deist, it is not the god of the bible or any other book of faith, nor is it the god imagined by any specific or organized religion.

However, unlike you, I DO know the difference between a fact/truth and an opinion/belief and unlike you, I am not capable of being arrogant and presenting that which is clearly a belief as it it is a proven fact- nor am I ignorant as you obviously are since you attempt to state that which cannot be proven to be fact as if it is.

If stupidity, arrogance, ignorance, blasphemy, idiocy, and deluded thinking is what sends a person to your nonexistent place of hell, no doubt there is a front row seat with your name engraved upon it just waiting for you.

Then again, your posts prove you are already in hell- even if it is simply a hell of your own making.

What a miserable cur you are.

Hawking doesn't bother me in the least because I see him for what he is - a naked man in a wheelchair with toadies who worship his alleged brain.

However, if Hawking was half as smart as he and his toadies claim him to be, they he and they would be focused on finding a cure for his crippling disease, instead of speculating about the vast universe with untested and unproven theories of no consequence.

Hawking is just a useless blowhard in a wheelchair, who spews useless and unprovable theories to please his toadies. Even worse, some idiots bow to the cripple as if he was their pope. That's what is really pathetic.

What a unique mind you have. I think you should contact Professor Hawking immediately and point out the error of his ways. Let him know how you feel that he, a physicist, should be figuring out a cure for motor neuron disease. I'm sure you'll get positive feedback.

Perhaps you should seek an audience with him and bash him to a pulp. I'm sure that would be 'doing God's work" ... don't you think?

Why ?
Why does it matter to you what other people think ?
Surely you can be secure in your own beliefs without insisting that everyone else thinks the same..
Or perhaps you aren't ??

I wonder if he is in fact a Christian. I suspect many of the more vitriolic posts in the name of Christianity are really written by cynical individuals seeking to elicit a reaction and disrupt discussion.
