Prove him wrong.

Hawking would surely have the laugh of a lifetime if he could read this public forum, where he's being discredited by a fully-grown adult (?) who agreed that he, too, is "afraid of the dark".

Sorry, no offense to Hawkings, but he does not know, any more than anyone else what happens when we die. So, he is full of sh#t.
They tend to deify atheist intellectuals.

When he has direct, proven, empirical evidence that there is no heaven, I will take his word on it.
Until then, I will believe whatever I want.

Also, no offense to people in wheelchairs, or with disabilities...but he really does not live a "normal" life. His entire view of reality is skewed from his point of view as a disabled person, and a seemingly bitter one at that.
Absolutely Jasper12! Once a person is in tha condition his whole outlook tends to become bitter.

It isn't "bitter". He simply doesn't believe in fairy stories.

Please go to post number 17 which shows just how very willing physicists are in believing that Micky Mouse or an unlimited number of Elvis's must exist somewhere if indeed there are infinite dimensions or an infinite number of multi universes or even if the universe itself is infinite. However, if we substitute God for Micky Mouse or Elvis well, heh! heh! then they immediately go into a catatonic stupor and veritably herniate all their cerebral cortex lobes as their neurons begin to misfire in diverse erratical ways.

BTW


When supposedly objective people do that kind of thing Alfred E. Newman images spontaneously come to mind with a touch of Bozo the Clown.

BTW

Multiple universes are not as far-fetched as you might think.

Quote:
In the most recent study on pre-Big Bang science posted at arXiv.org, a team of researchers from the UK, Canada, and the US, Stephen M. Feeney, et al, have revealed that they have discovered four statistically unlikely circular patterns in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The researchers think that these marks could be “bruises” that our universe has incurred from being bumped four times by other universes. If they turn out to be correct, it would be the first evidence that universes other than ours do exist.
