Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.

[RoadRunner79]

If he had been a theist, his surviving ALS for almost 50 years would be considered a sign of divine favor by many.

It won't be long before theists start arguing Hawking was a believer. They pulled that shit after the death of Einstein and the worst example was Anthony Flew.

Anthony Flew did become a deist, while he was yet quite alive yet.  And Einstein from reading his words seemed to vary quite a bit.  He said many things that can be taken either way.

That sounds like a textbook example of the argument from ignorance.

Said the one who still buys into an old book of mythology.

Your bible IS NOT, nor ever was a science textbook. You are the one being willfully ignorant. 

That was then, this is now. You claiming we are arguing from ignorance is laughable.

Would you like to address the accusation (issue) or are you just going to keep trying to change the subject?    And as we have discussed before, whether something is new or old, makes no difference on whether it is true or reasonable.

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be rationally dismissed without evidence.

I would also add reason to that quip, but that's just me.

I do however like the help on the subject though... thanks.
