RIP Stephen Hawking

That's correct. Even the most learn-ed of atheists will agree that Christ walked the earth. Why then, is it such a stretch to believe the rest?

Agreed, and I have a couple of questions for you.
If God made everything in existence then why would he make sooo much of it when one ball with some oxygen and some things to look at in the sky would have been more than enough for humans?
Why billions of lightyears upon billions of light years in every direction, most of which man will never even see or know in his entire existence as a species?

IF there are other lifeforms out there did God make them in his image as well, or just "Man" and the others were made in the image of who?

Not serious questions that require an answer of course, but just thoughts.
