Are you butt talking again? Where do you get the "desperately wants to make a name for himself"? He is one of the preeminant Scientists in the world, and one of the most famous..isn't he?
Hah, I just watched a documentary on him on the SyFy channel on Saturday (?), and that was EXACTLY what the narrorator said he wanted.
(EDIT: Might have been NatGeo? But pretty sure it was SyFy... it was yesterday, Sunday)
Also, EDIT, this was because when people asked who were the fore-most prominent scientists (EDIT: Physicist) in the world (related to his area of study), he didn't even make the top-5 list. He was way down at like 22 or something, and only one person voted for him. They went into detail about that too... I'll see if I can find the documentary for you. But I got to be honest, I'm really getting tired of doing this. Do I really have to prove every other word I say to you?
Next you're going to ask me to prove the definition of "THE"
EDIT: It was either "Stephen Hawking, Master of the Universe" or it was the newer one that just came out in 2010.

I find it ironic that someone as logical as Hawking would make such an illogical assumption. IF God exists according to the Christian doctrine, then He exists outside of space-time. Therefore He could have easily been around before time began, and would have actually created it.

I would rather live like there is a God and find out there is not, than live like there isn't one and find out there is!
ok but what if you pick the wrong one like you think st pete is on the gate you show up and meet Vishnu or pluto
I would rather live life without fear of a invisible friends wrath esp when nobody has an invisible friend just like I have no fear of ghosts holy or unholy
but people who fear invisible friends are not rational and live a life stunted by that fear

Sorry but I guess maybe it's the "tone" or the way you write your messages and my interpretation. I seem to get the sense that you feel you "know" certain things when they are apparently more your opinion.
Statements like "The man desperately wants to make a name for himself, and he wants to keep himself in the spotlight to keep his funding and financing flowing." for example make it sound like you are an authority on Steven Hawking when I assume you are not. I guess it's statements like those that I see as reasons for rumours and untruths being spread. Not saying everything you say is untrue or rumours by a long shot but I find it gets cloudy when some statements appear to be and some not. No offense intended.

I've seen on TV where it was said that experiments like that are currently underway.
But so far, no one who reports an "out-of-body" experience has accurately identified the messages or numbers that were discretely hidden from their normal view.
In other words--results to date are negative. At least, as far as the "out of body" experience being connected with the same world that we inhabit when we are normally alive.
hmm, that's opposite to what I saw. The reports were positive.
..hawking is a DROOLING dork,, one of the few cripples who got what he deserved,, am I a good forgiving christian or not?? you should have seen him IN HIS WHEELCHAIR flying down hill on fire,completely engulfed in flames,SCREAMING THRU HIS VOICE BOX.. HIS FAMILY TREE PRODUCED A BIG NUT
There is no measure of Time past it is unknown, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY MAN FROM TALES & STOREYS . NO SWEAT I,M JOINING THE JEWBOYS,,LOOKING MORE & MORE LIKE SOME SERIOUS ACTION MILITARY/POLITICAL/ RELIGIOUS IS COMMING THEY HAVE US TOTALLY SURROUNDED GOTTEM WHERE WE WANT THEM

well they are a clear and present danger to freedom and very good at causing depressions but at least they are real
unlike ghosts gods vampires werewolfs unicorns dragons angels or devils those are all fairytales and not real but believers in any or all of the above are also a clear and present danger to freedoms as the believers are all to real
I'm not sure how this would work. I don't think people can turn on and off a belief any more than someone can believe I have a T-Rex in my backyard (assuming there was some compelling reason to do so.) Most people just can't do that. So while they say they believe, they really don't.
One eyebrow is always up. Maybe some people can.

The evidence of God is just as strong as any evidence presented there is no God. Its Subjective to the person theorizing. For some scientist, Science removes any faith in a deity, while with others, their beliefs in God becomes stronger with every discovery.
This would be a good 1st post.

I think Hawkins motivation for the noise of late is basically hedging his bets. Purpose of setting his mind at ease as he is getting no younger. The more people who believe what he does maybe somehow means to him he will be more correct. Aliens, big bang with no god, etc.

Just out of curiosity, how does it benefit him if he's correct? Surely being convinced that there is no God doesn't make someone more comfortable with the thought of dying...

If there is one, where would Stephen think his soul is headed? He would have the choice of no soul, ceasing to exist, or the soul goes on.

I think I saw the same show recently, on the Science Channel. I was a little surprised that the scientific community holds him in such low regard. Apparently, at least some of it is due to his popularity in the media. Scientists are kinda funny like that.
Also, it seems Stephen Hawking's life goal is to find a "theory of everything", a scientific theory that fills in all the gaps in our current scientific theories and ties everything together. He still hasn't found that theory. And his health is getting worse. So yeah, I think he's starting to get desperate.
..Hello ladies & gentlemen we are here at aldershot,England, home of the para regiment for the air show & parachute jumps,next up Steven Hawking makes the first wheel chair parachute jump. here comes the plane around,jumpmaster checking the wind,theres Hawkings in the door,WO!

Hah.... well, I'm not an authority on Stephen Hawking... but never the less, what you quoted there is almost an exact quote from the documentary... including such specific adjectives like "desperately" and nouns like "spotlight" etc.
Anyway, we both speak the King's language... you should be able to tell when I'm giving opinion and when I'm simply stating things. Unless we're talking about socialism, in which case I KNOW I'm right... I usually say "I think" or... "I believe"

Isn't the Queens language right now? Totally kidding
I wish you would use more terms like "I think" and "I believe" but again I think I've been nitpicking you in particular too much as of late, my apologies if I offended in anyway.
Originally posted by NickD3.4: did God create the universe with Stephen Hawking
Yes he did.
"Since time began with the big bang, and time did not exist before the big bang, therefore was no time for god to have existed".
This statement assumes the big bang was the beginning of existence. However, some have speculated that the big bang was the result of all matter in the universe contracting in on itself, in an unending cycle of bang > expansion > contraction, in which case there can be no beginning or end (of existence and time). If you believe there is only one (our) universe, there has always been existence and time, which is to say there has always been something, somewhere.
I think Stephen made this statement intentionally to be controversial, in order to spur debate and further interest in the field.

Exactly. To think he doesn't know what every single word in his sentences mean or even implies is foolish. He says things for a specific reason. It was intentional but I suspect it was directed more to the other researchers than the public in general.
It's easy to jump all over this comment but I wouldn't want to argue it with him.

You guys even hate Stephen Hawking? That's really sad...
Where do you get this, Jazzman? Who said anything about hating Hawking? What's sad is that you mistake reasonable questions for hate. I am sure that the Christians here pray for Hawking, and you, and Wichita, and the other atheists. I do.
As others have pointed out, where did the laws of physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, or chemistry come from? If there were no laws governing the operation of the universe, Hawking wouldn't have a job. Marvin McInnis, randye, and AntiKev couldn't be engineers if the these laws didn't exist. If acceleration was 18 ft/sec^2 today, 9.5 tomorrow, and 187 the next day, we couldn't build anything to operate reliably. Certainly not airplanes and convey belts. So where did they come from? The intellect to write the laws has to be outside the laws. So what is it? I'll go with God. Now, you, Wichita, and Stephen Hawking explain it, please.

The big bang is a theory. Not proven just man's excuse to disprove the existance of God. Nothing more.
If the universe were created by the BIG BANG, all that proves is we have discovered the way God created it.

Our God. The one true living God. The creator of the Universe! (So my beliefs lead me) Romans 1:20 Read it.
Anyways, point being, I stand firm on my beliefs in God mainly because I have a personal relationship with him. He speaks to me and I listen. (Most of the time anyways) <-- But when I don't I have chosen to sin. It all comes down to choices in life. You can choose to trust and obey or distrust and live for yourself. Keep in mind your cheating yourself and your loved ones when you do this. Romans 6:23 Read that too.
Those of you that do not believe is it because you have chosen to trust this after you have read the bible or is this a decision you have chosen because your parents raised you this way? The reason I ask this is because I was raised in church and I took my parents ways first. (Christian life style) I was saved at 9 and lived a Christian life until age 15. Then I rebelled. From ages 16-24 I lived like I wanted to. God let me run like I saw fit until it got out of hand. He corrected me and pulled me back. (I can give my testimony to anyone who wants it) I lived the drunken and drug life for several years. I finally came to conclusion where I was in life. Why? Because I ALWAYS felt empty inside. I never was filled and always searching for the truth and what I needed when I sinned constantly without care. Jesus fixed that for me. PM me if you want more.
I find it ironic that someone as logical as Hawking would make such an illogical assumption. IF God exists according to the Christian doctrine, then He exists outside of space-time. Therefore He could have easily been around before time began, and would have actually created it.
yup. the very concept of "God" (any - not just the Jew God) would pretty much exist beyond the 4 dimensions of time/space. tho - I do find it amazing that for a long long time science was disproving god, but, now that science is heading down deep, it is starting to find god again.
yes, Hawking is fixated on "The Big Bang". And, especially fixated on the Big Bang being a singular event. One of the sucky parts of "the big bang" is that it puts "edges" to the universe. it is no longer infinite. the universe is just the "bang". like a bubble. but - now - what is this "bubble" floating in? some other medium? and, why could there not be "bangs" scattered all over this medium? and so on.... The Big Bang is a pretty solid theory, and has much science behind it. But, it does open a whole new box of problems.
so - how's about them other 8 dimensions? .....
