I don't know anything about the man. May he R.I.P We will all answer to GOD one day. Weather you believe or not. Just remember it's never too late.
RIP Stephen Hawking

Das a fact.
I hope he came to know Jesus Christ !!
Pride is overated !!
Worshipping the created instead of the creator is a grave mistake !!
I admire the fact that he overcame so much in this life !!
One thing no one will overcome is a physical death , yet we can overcome a spiritual one !!
The only equal oportunity that truly exits in this world !!!
Gob Bless

Cold heartless statement
Well I dont wish that on anyone !
Im just a sinner who has been pardoned!
Preach the gospel, and when necessary use words !!
We will also answer for every careless word that leaves our mouths !!
From the overflow of the heart speaks the tongue !!
God Bless

According to Wikipedia, Take it for what it's worth
"Hawking did not rule out the existence of a Creator, asking in A Brief History of Time "Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence?"[133] In his early work, Hawking spoke of God in a metaphorical sense. In A Brief History of Time he wrote: "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we should know the mind of God."[134] In the same book he suggested that the existence of God was not necessary to explain the origin of the universe. Later discussions with Neil Turok led to the realisation that the existence of God was also compatible with an open universe."

A mind closed to any possibilities will always be limited by imagined barriers.
A mind open to all possibilities will always eventually find the truth, no matter how previously unbelievable that truth is.

Well put Yellow Rose
So, it's ok for him to say all his life in a mean spiteful manner that there's no God, that religion is BS and on and on and on offend Christians? All I did was say what he believes happens in the end and I'm heartless one? You're an idiot.

wow the truth really hurts for some here , I guess everyone is entitled to their beliefs as long as they coincide with your own eh ? Are you wearing your magic underwear ? ok you can come in .Maybe you should hold off on challenging other peoples IQ's there folks .When you think you are smarter than one of the most brilliant minds the world had ever known well....
Pride comes before a fall your fairy tale says doesn't it ?

I have my beliefs and they don't involve any fairy tales, neither do they involve any magic underwear. As far as Hawking being one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever known, maybe so. But remember that everyone is ignorant of something.
Leonardo Da Vinci was considered an insane lunatic and a heretic by his contemporary peers and ex-communicated from the Catholic church, and forced to live in exile for the rest of his life.
History later proved that he was one of mankind's most brilliant minds........hundreds of years after his death.

You sound so full of hate. Not helping your Christian cause much.

Agreed, but when Hawking spoke he was well within his specialty of theoretical physics.
Theoretical yes, but if I had to put stock in a theory his would surely be at the top of the list for possibility in my mind.
My thing is that I don't subscribe to anyone's theories completely without question.
Not Hawking's, nor Christian beliefs , or anyone else for that matter.
Example:
I don't completely believe time is just something we notice happening and called it the passage of time as it went by.
I think it's possible we are misunderstanding time, and that it is possible that it is actually a physical thing that could be navigated like a ship on an ocean if we just knew how.
Maybe black holes pull time in as well as all other matter, and time actually has mass that we don't yet have the ability to understand.
But since we are so stuck in the idea that it isn't a physical thing and just a perception of the human mind, we can't yet understand exactly how it does what it does and why.
Now let me mix the religious side and the science side together for a moment instead of thinking/believing they are separate things where one is right and the other is wrong.
Take "the power of prayer" for example.
I am pretty sure praying does make some difference in certain events.
I am sure there are particles of atoms that respond to human presence differently than if they would not be physically observed by humans.
Is it possible that prayer could actually be affecting matter and reality itself?
Could it be the power of prayer is simply the human mind affecting matter, and even reality?
Could it then be possible the universe (or whatever it is) is what actually answers prayers?
Science would say that is possible, but religion would argue that saying it is God that answers prayers.
Then when we ask for others to pray for the same thing, are we then increasing the affect that multiple minds have on reality increasing the possibility of the outcome we pray for to become that new reality.
It would not be possible for me to think this way if I strictly believed religion or science separately and not consider both together as possibly holding the answers.
Consider a piece of rope.
It couldn't exist without the strands of material, but it also couldn't exist without those strands being intertwined.
So I feel how it is with religion and science, that a mixture of the two are where the real answers lie.

I like to think that time, space, matter, energy and thought are not the separate things that many believe them to be.

That may very well be.
To think they are not all connected would be like thinking everything in a salad except for the Garbanzo's is the salad .
Everything in existence being tied together is a reasonable theory, even if we don't yet know how.

..you said "member"...
I know he was an Englishman and this is an international board, but according to the Constitution (and if there's any truth to "mean spiteful manner"), yes. Yes it was.
