Did god create the universe? Stephen Hawking

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Yeah I watched all three episodes of this on Netflix. Stephen Hawking is probably the most loveable physicist ever. He seems so happy, upbeat, and enthusiastic about everything despite the fact he's rendered near-immobile. The almost child-like enthusiasm he 'shows' when he's talking about the "party for the people from the future" thing had me grinning like an idiot. The man is inspiring for so many reasons, not the least of which is his brilliance and his refusal to let his condition affect the way he lives his life.

Yeah I loved this on Netflix. It made me feel like I was five again. I kept going "wow. That's incredible! The universe expanded faster than the speed of light after the big bang? Antimatter?!! There are almost no collisions between stars when galaxies merge?!" Hawkings is really funny too!

Are you sure you're not talking about Into the Universe? This isn't available on Netflix.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
-Ruta Skadi, The Subtle Knife
