He says aliens exist, but that a supernatural God with whom humans can have a personal relationship “seems most implausible”. Hmmm.

Well, he didn't rule out the possibility of a Supreme Being, but it's just one man's thoughts.

Hawking is welcome to whatever theories of the supernatural float his boat. Just like any other person. I just don't think that I'll be buying stock in most of them.

I do agree with him, however, that there are other intelligent species in the universe. It can't be otherwise. It's been calculated that if you took every grain of sand on every beach in the world, and counted them all, you wouldn't have as many grains of sand as there are stars in the universe.

That's an incomprehensible number. Understand also that many of those stars have planets orbiting them, which is an even bigger number.

In my view, the universe is literally teeming with life, though I have little but reasoning and logic to support that view.

Dawkins said much the same thing. He can accept God as an extraterrestrial alien, but not as a supranatural God.
