The irony here is that except for parents' faith in God, a child with Hawking's condition would have been aborted. Yet here is this brilliant mind that does not even realize that the faith he denies is the reason he is here.
The majority of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) cases show no genetic link,
Not at all. I think that Moses had nothing to do with writing the Pentateuch whatsoever.
Of course he did.

Nonsense. Both are straightforward chronological narratives. They are, however, written at completely different times by completely different people only later incorporated into the single volume of Genesis as the Pentateuch evolved from a set of diverse documents into the single Torah.
No. They aren't. Re-read them. Chapter 1 is clearly chronological--it lists the days. Chapter 2 isn't. It doesn't mention a timeline.
As for the other question about evolution....I think the point could be made that if evolution provided humans with a distinct advantage enabling them to thrive...why didn't the apes die off? Or at least their ancestor that we all supposedly evolved from?
I just came across an interesting story about evolution on CNN. Science has discovered (and grown in the lab) a new species of bacteria. It was found in a lake highly contaminated with arsenic. It's the only known lifeform that uses arsenic as a food source. The bacteria actually has replaced the phosphorus in its DNA with arsenic (as a chemist that blows my mind). It's truly amazing and novel that a new species could evolve that uses this toxin as its lifeforce and to structure its genetic material.

Aborted him in his early 20s? Because that's when he started being affected by it. So because you say his parents believe in god, they decided not to retroactively abort him when he was 21.
He hung himself. The theory is that the tree branch broke and he fell, bursting open.
What a bizarre and fascinating sequence of events!!!! Certainly, a sign of God's righteous judgment !!!
Why doesn't the Bible say that then? Why does it inexplicably divide this powerful moral massage into two different parts and then make them appear to be contradictory?

I am constantly fascinated by nature and living creatures in my line of work.
