Because Hawking (but in this topic he is re-named Hawkings because after all beta fail is dumb as shit) said something that is obviously from Star Trek he was being silly and if Hawking was silly (read: wrong) then he must have been silly about everything including universe that is billions of years old and evolution of life, thus fairy tale stories that beta fail takes for granted must be right!

LMAO - dude, I'm just joking around. Want me to send you a quarter so you can buy a sense of humor?

Maybe because you weren't joking and you didn't post it in humor section and are now trying to backpedal from an embarrassment that you tried to banter Stephen Hawking and yet failed even to read his name properly.

Now, when it comes to subject itself article is more reminiscent of the movie Gattaca than Star Trek. As, for instance can be seen in this video.





But even that kind of society is hardly likely to crop up because although people will change genetic disorders in emerging humans they won't make them 'superior' because there is no such definition as what is superior human. Even in that movie "Gattaca" they didn't have much of an idea what that superiority could be and thus you had people with six fingers on each hand as some sort of superior pianists.

Or even when it comes to higher intelligence it is also something undefined. Yes, there are people that do complicated science, but that also probably doesn't rest so much on some genetic predispositions but rather motivation, upbringing and their surroundings because most people are somewhere same with intelligence quota.

I mean sure if you look today there are many so called stupid people but it is yet to be determined if it is mostly because of genetic reasons and not because of lack of proper education and motivation and religious surrounding.
I myself know of couple of cases where individuals weren't much educated and or lazy but when they moved to different parts of world where they had more opportunities to make money they suddenly took classes to learn more and worked much harder.

But I guess my true grudge on Stephen Hawking about this is how much this problem is trifle compared to truly compressing problems for humanity like pollution and climate change. If anything people should press politicians to work on solving these problems. Not to mention that Hawking should have worked that smarter people, like him, have more important role in today's politics, because what does it mean to be smart scientists today? - Almost nothing.

Or another so called problem that Hawking and some other prominent people worry is AI. I mean really? Even today if there was some real war it would be brutal with devices like drones that the enemy would truly seem invisible and deadly.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
