So not using it to disrespect the late Rev. Graham then. Or politicizing it to make claims that one cannot support and to attack Christians.

Professor Hawking was a very intelligent man. It was amazing what he did, and what he worked through in health difficulties and to do the things that he did. In many ways; I think how he handled himself in light of what the disease took from him; is more impressive than the his other work.

Philosophy was never his strong suit.
