Stephen Hawking: There is no God.
2014-09-28
Mr. Hawking being uniquely unqualified, out of the billions of humans now living, to make such a judgement and such a pronouncement. Which, of course, is why he could not keep himself from doing so.

#12  Hawking is 50% physicist, 50% charlatan. And he's always been 100% asshole. That's my professional opinion.

As a physicist, Grom.

#11  Well stated EC. Mr Hawking is not the final word.

#10  If you do not believe in God, God does not exist (for you).

If you believe that there is nothing after your death, there will be nothing.

#8  He keeps bringing that up....I suspect he's worried about something.

#7  He's just bitter that they can't prove God does or does not exist.

#6  Mr Hawking, your theology degree -- or philosophy degree, or some sort of proof that you are qualified to give an expert opinion on anything other than physics? Expertise in one field does not translate to another field (c.f. Chomsky, and almost any Nobel laureate in economics). And the deeper the expertise, the more narrow its range. Its quite simply one of the more common logical fallacies out there: argumentum Ad Verecundiam, appeal to false authority.

I believe that the ancient Jews saw this argument, and handled it already: Psalm 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."

#5  Steve you need a change of scenery, suggest you start humming "Nearer My God to Thee" as you ascend into the heavens. Just look upon this as an Attitude Altitude Adjustment.

#1  For a scientist that's an unusually stupid statement.

Scientists should not state things as facts they cannot prove.
