I know you love quoting Wiki…..
That cheesy film ? Surely not …..
what cheesy film about his love life ?
I’ve met Smith , Jones and Crabtree……
Ruth Ellis ?
Also as Rude hasn’t commented on Hawking’s appearance that I know of, by pointing out you expect him to , based on past behaviour I presume, you have yourself ridiculed him and brought the discussion from atheism and God down to someone’s appearance due to a crippling and terrible disease…….
”
Did God spare him?
Whatever, his endurance and faith (in science) were living disproofs of his idea that we are just a bunch of advanced monkeys living on a small planet.”
What are ‘trying’ to say here ?
Because he did well and believed in science ( science isn’t about faith ) god spared him ?
Because he lived longer than originally expected ( don’t forget science is also evolving while he is enduring ) we can’t all descend from Monkeys ?
Many, many, people outlive there expected prognosis, I’m sorry your friend didn’t but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Some people recover from the same form of cancer another person dies from.
Are you saying God saved him because he was a genius ?
Why not save a 2 year old with a brain tumour who may well become a genius ?
Are you in fact saying that we didn’t descend from Monkeys etc and we all came from Adam ad Eve ? lol I know you aren’t , however you can’t pick and choose which parts of science you chose to believe as much as you cant pick and choose which parts of a ‘faith’ you are supposed to believe in.
”I really don’t believe that some sort of divine justice will take place on death – that all the nasty people will get their come-uppance, and I will get rewarded with lots of coffee cake.”
Bit arrogant to presume you’re lumped in with the coffee cake brigade too…..
I’d like to ask a question just to see the responses…. I’m not trying to dig or make a point just to make that clear. Say, hypothetically, it was proved, irrefutable proof that NOBODY could deny, that there was no God, of any denomination, NONE, ZERO, ZILCH , would this world we live in be any worse ? Would there be less famine, wars, stabbings, cancer, corruption, cruelty, anger, earthquakes, poverty, etc etc ? ?
I would have to accept it, and I don’t think there would be any less (or more) disaster and death. There was a venerable nun called Sister Maria, I’m told, who had devoted her entire long life to Catholic observances. All she would say on her deathbed was “Goodness, I shall look a fool if it isn’t true”
So basically, we all suffer 7 kinds of hell on earth, in the hope that maybe just maybe we will go to a better place ? and as Rude boy said on a different thread I think, as we are dead there’s no way to let anyone know that there IS nothing else ….
In my head it’s all about probability I’m afraid…. Although in some ways I do admire those who have Blind Faith…. as that is what it is… Blind
Live and let Live isn’t a bad attitude….
