RE: My Thoughts about Stephen Hawking
I believe Hawking's devotion to evolution and denying God IS the thing that made him famous.
I believe that this is utterly self- serving; an assumption to justify your criticisms of him. He only announced to the World that he was an atheist in 2014. By then, he was world famous for his work on cosmology.
Stephen Hawking was given 50 years of life more than he should have had.
Uh, says who? And do you know what kept him alive? Medical science.
Now I am sure, as is with ALL famous atheist, we will one day hear of his bedside acceptance of Yashua
Nonsense. You just made all of that up. A complete, self-serving fabrication.
but unfortunately for him, and for most of his adoring fans who believe him, his great legacy will be that he led so many away from any understanding or even acknowledgment of our great Creator, YHVH.
More nonsense. People can think for themselves. Especially those who are not restricted by dogmatic thinking.
I think this piece is mean and bitter. Whatever would motivate someone whose religion is about love and acceptance write such an unpleasant article about such a great man?
Because he doesn't share your faith? You know, that says far more about you and your faith than it does about Stephen Hawking.
Thank you for your comment. I can appreciate your concerns with this article if you do not share the same faith as I have. Your first point about how he came out in 2014 for the first time is not accurate. As a child he went to St. Albans school, were he argued with classmates about Christianity, which I have plenty to argue against there as well. As a young student at Oxford and Cambridge, he was a well-known atheist. It was not something that was a shock when he said it in an interview in 2014. As far as the extra 50 years, that is based on the fact he had a disease that kills almost everybody with it within 5 years. Scientist/doctors truly have no idea, even with a ventilator, how he was able to live so long. As far as the bedside confessions, yes, I am making that up, which is why I stated it as "I am sure, one day", not "It has been said this week". It is simply a guess as to what people will make claims about. I have heard so many of these fake claims over the years. I wasn't making the claim he did so. As far as a religion of love and acceptance...it is love to speak truth. You may not like the truth, nor believe the truth of scripture, and it is your right. I would not harm you or put you down, and I don't believe I put Mr. Hawking down. I was simply stating a fact of his atheistic beliefs. I find them sad that so many newspapers seemed to focus so much of their writings after his death on the fact he claimed there is no god. And as far as the Bible being a religion of acceptance, you will not find that anywhere in scripture. There is acceptance by the Almighty, but not of those who are unrepentant.
Again, not sure what I said that was so bad. I was stating an opinion. There are very few, if any, top rated scientist today in the world of academia, that are widely accepted, which are creationist and believe in God. Einstein and Newton, along with many of the earlier scientist were men who believed in God, made major contributions to science, but if it were today, I do not believe someone like Newton would be widely accepted in todays anti-god academia. This was simply my point. I did not say anything disparaging of Mr. Hawking, in fact I said he was brilliant, entertaining, and from what I have seen had a great sense of humor. I believe I would have gotten along fine with him.
