Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

[AMT4SWA]

Quote from bigarrow:

No, when you die there is nothing more, he will be no more, and since he will no longer be he will not find out.

Prove it......

Quote from Debaser82:

Actually, Business insider had a special not so long on people with high IQ's and Hawking 'only' had one of 160 or so.

I am not an expert on the matter but I don't think that will rank you as the smartest guy in the world I think.

Anyway, there were others with many higher then 160 in the list.

If IQ is the authority on whether there is a heaven then Hawking is not the authority. Isaac Newton had an IQ of 210 and he spent his bulk of time on a methematical code on the biblical study of armegedon.

Also C S Lewis comes to mind.

Hawking 160 IQ is trying to match wits with the Almighty with an IQ of a google to the power of a google.

Rennick Einstein out

Hawking, like all humans, has made some mistakes in his profession - most notably the long standing paradox regarding information getting lost versus getting mangled within black holes. He was vehemently opposed to many other physicists about the nature of Black Holes, undertook a famous bet with an American physicist, and ultimately after many years Hawking finally conceded that he was wrong and completely reversed his position.

So, like the rest of humanity, Hawking is fallable.

The scientific method is about demonstrating fallibility.
Scientists proved another scientist's findings to be incorrect, which led to further discovery the only way possible. With science.
No deity required.

Quote from tomdavis:

It's amusing listening to you guys argue about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin... As if pins actually exist.

Why do you think that actually a pin is needed in order to dance above it?
Hawking told in one of those videos included in this thread, that the universe is
capable of spontaneously creating itself...
So a non-existent something is capable to bring itself into existence

I implied that earlier but his admirers apparently didn't want to consider the possibility.
