Quote from Kassz007:

In an effort to get this thread back on topic after the jibber jabber, here is an interesting article related to Hawking's recent comments.

The only reason to create a personal God is personal. We create models of the universe, the best of which is the truth as we know it. God is a poor model. God explains nothing, and is not useful anymore Time to move on to better models

Quote from Gabfly1:

The important thing to note is that he's smarter than <s>you</s> both of us and his conclusion is different than yours...

What are my conclusions?

Quote from Lucrum:

What are my conclusions?

How would I know if you don't?

Since you dispute Hawking's conclusions, your conclusions must be different. That's all I need to know.

What are my conclusions?

My conclusion is that:

A) on top of being a total bitch (bankteller1 is from quebec and worked as a bank teller his whole life.)

B) He is also a homo (again worked as a bank teller in quebec)

Hawking is brilliant but that doesn't make him infallible. He's made plenty of mistakes in his career (as does everyone) so it's foolish to take something that he or anyone else says as "gospel."

Go back and read this article. Anyone at all scientifically minded and with a lick of common sense will realize that humans know far too little about the universe to make such grand pronouncements. The more likely explanation is that he's losing it and that saddens me because I'm a big fan of his work.

My conclusion is that:

The carcass continues to speak. Or does a ventriloquist have a hand up his ass making him smile and look like he's talking? You decide.
