Stephen Hawking an Atheist?

RE: Stephen Hawking an Atheist?
(September 2, 2010 at 5:36 pm)theVOID Wrote: No, in the Brief history of time era he was certainly a deist, this is more apparent from his interviews than the book it's self (albeit a weak one), his position has simply changed from "God is likely be behind" to "god doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it but i still find it likely personally" to "god isn't needed at and shouldn't be used".

That basically defines intellectual evolution.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
