Stephen Hawking Says the Universe Was Not Created by God

"The Pew Research Centre recently surveyed Americans on their religious knowledge – and for a country where religion
is so prominent, the results were surprising. Self-described atheists and agnostics out-performed every other group, . . . . ."

And...that link has nothing to do with what I was saying. It's completely out of reference. I wasn't referring to "know it all" in terms of understanding different organized religions. Nice try? ...not really



After reading through your posts you calling other people bitter makes up in irony what you lack in creditability.
How am I supposed to respect your argument when that sentence

a) doesn't make sense...as in it literally makes no sense
b) uses the word 'creditability', which isn't a word
 


honestly guys, i think uber has come in here pretty reasonable and his posts are fairly level headed. Ok he thinks the FSM is an insult, I could see how someone could think that, even though I don't.

Compare his posts to rusky believing that atheists / 'darwinists' (the fuck is a darwinist btw) believing that evolution says that we should kill people, especially the weak. also nazism. Thats some glen "take everything to the perverted extreme" beck shit right there.

The term Darwinism is often used in the United States by promoters of creationism, notably by leading members of the intelligent design movement, as an epithet to attack evolution as though it were an ideology (an "ism") of philosophical naturalism, or atheism.

evolution is not an ideology, it is a very well supported scientific explanation for the diversity of life we observe on our planet. I do not care who in your peer group has demonized it, they are not a biologist, they do not spend their life studying life.

FYI rusky, i give two shits about what some planned parenthood director says. She does not speak for me. And agreeing that evolution and natural selection exist and are the cause of the diversity we see in the world DOES NOT MEAN that you want to kill the sick and the weak. That's like saying because some animals take more than one mate, we should all be fucking everyone all the time.

Wait, actually....
 
Peculiar how the only people I've ever seen who say the atheist position is that life is meaningless, and that we're all just biological machines with no purpose, are the people who are not atheists. Speak for yourself. Except Rusky, please just don't speak at all.
 
"The fact that we human beings – who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature – have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph."

Call me when we can make use of the one power, the force, or whatever the fuck else we're calling it now.

Can't see how humanity is in any way near to fully understanding the laws governing the universe.
 
Sorry to bring this thread up again. Since I made the opening post, over the past few weeks there has been a three part series from Hawking on Channel4 (I think it was shown on Discovery a few months back). The first episode was on Aliens, the second was on Time Travel and the final one shown on Saturday was the main show on the Universe. I missed it, but have been watching it now on 4OD and it is definitely worth watching. It is on 4OD for another 4 days if anyone wants to watch it (may have to go on a UK proxy).

Here is the link for it... Stephen Hawking's Universe - 4oD - Channel 4

How do you think we flew rockets to the moon?

Blind-faith and 24/7 of prayers?

Indeed, I think..and those are what Moslem faced back hun'rerd years ago.
or I might add, Atheism. For nonbelievers of Gods Existence,

Oh god.. please stop..
 
Oh god.. please stop..

Yes, did you call me?

Violence and death on a massive scale like invading countries and killing thousands? Or dropping atomic bombs? These are works of a christian nation, in the name of patriotism, which as I've said before is the most dangerous relgion of all.

Listen, I'm not going to tit for tat you, Like I said it's a slippery slope you can't claim one religion is better than another, because it's a religion.


Pretty sure we didn't do any of that in the name of religion. We did it in the name of greed and patriotism. To say otherwise is bullshit, but I'm pretty sure you know that already.

We kill for greed, islam kills for religion. Not saying being greedy or power hungry is a good thing, but don't get it twisted with religion.
