Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

There's a reason why the jesus worshipers are generally poor and stupid.

The Pope is poor?

Quote from bone:

Jews believe in a divinity. Don't leave them out. The last thing you want to do when you are making hypocritical value statements under the guise of progressive enlightenment is leave someone out.

As if there is anything progressive or enlightened in supposed grown ups insisting their fantasy friend is actually real.

More spin? I said we're going to find out when we die, NOT let's die and see.

More spin from you perhaps. I didn't say you did say that. I said, you were playing that game.

You did say Stephen Hawking was proven wrong, but failed to acknowledge it was science that did so, the only thing that could prove it, so you could even make the statement.
Science, the very thing you deride to show preference in a childish superstitious god concept .
Mind you don't get dizzy.

You have to say you believe in the invisible man in the sky or you won't get elected.

In america, it is quite common to find those who are pro-life and pro-war at the same time.

I guess you have not been to church in Greenwich Ct or Rancho Santa Fe. The parking lots overflow.

Of course it was science that did so, albeit the same science that made Hawking erroneously think he was right to begin with. I'll reiterate a previous point, science does not know everything and sometimes even what they think they know turns out to be wrong.

Your point is what...that you can't know it's wrong without the science to show it is?
That seems a little point-less if you don't mind me saying.

Never said there was - the atheists are making that very point based upon the musings of one famous physicist with a very severe and debilitating case of ALS. A point that neither atheist nor religious zeolot can prove unless one of them dies and then wants to profer an opinion.

I completed high "B" work in quantum mechanics and nuclear physics, so maybe if someone can point me in the direction of his work on black holes or relativity where God's existence has been disproved then maybe I can stumble my way through the executive summary and then proceed to begin my career in church arson.

Uh no my point is that science does not know everything and sometimes even what they think they know turns out to be wrong.

Why do some people use the word "science" like "God"?

In school, science is a process - of discovery. That's why you can never prove a theory. Such a proof would require a scientist to claim he understood and examined the outcome in all possible circumstances - and assuming their definition of "possible" was in itself all-inclusive.

Basically, on that topic, he/she would be claiming to be - God...
