Agreed. I once took a literature class that forbade any essay papers on Christianity.
Yet he assigned multiple reading essays by Albert Einstein misinterpreting theism and Christianity. Einsten was relatively (pun) overrated as a philosdopher.
I took that as rank hypocrisy. I defied the teacher, and wrote rebuttals every time we were assigned such propaganda.
I know the Bible, I know hard science, and I ain’t stupid. The teacher gave me A’s on each one. (I actually ended up with the highest grade in the class.)
I doubt there is such a fair-minded leftist, atheist professor in today’s academic morass.
Poppycock.
Sheldon is deeply saddened.
Have you seen the saucers?
Well he was one of the smartest persons in history, but not in any practical sense that would enhance the life of Average Man.
As for fearmongering, the first law in the official Handbook of Effective Fearmongering is to make any forecast, estimate or extrapolation as far into the future as possible.
E.G., don't ever say the sun will go supernova and explode in ten thousand billion years; be modest and simply say 997,000.52877 billion years.
Successful fearmongring demands that there is never the remotes possibility that anyone who is alive will never be able to confirm or deny the claim.
Just make sure that the claim is in the future a minimum of 200% of the oldest confirmed human in existence.
Doomsday is what he was facing if he did not come to know Jesus and God which I fear he did not.
I have a hunch that despite his protestations Hawking greatly feared death. I also have a hunch that he went to his death screaming.
I don’t think Stevie was running with all of his oars in the water for the last decade.

And yet failed to know God, proving mental intelligence isn’t the totality of wisdom.
The Media already lampooned Jerry Fallwell when, as they characterized it, he prayed to divert a hurricane. They don’t get the irony in treating Fallwell one way, and Hawkins the opposite.
How long ago was your literature class?
Forgive my total ignorance on Hawking, but I know what Einstein did. I know what Oppenheimer did. I even know what Heller and Feinman did. But other than black hole theory’s and becoming a media whore like Neil deGrasse Tyson has become, what in the hell did he contribute of substance? I here nothing but liberal bullish!t with no backing
Hawking was a very ironically telegenic science celebrity who did some seminal work on black holes, some important bits of which have been superseded over the last couple of decades. I admire him for his fight against his disease, not for being an oracular scientist, which he was not.
My favorite "scientific" version of "creation..."
"First there was nothing...
Then it exploded."
The end.
Sorry for delayed response:
Fall 1975.
The soul is eternal....he may wish he was just land fill....
Look out the window as you fly across the USA on an airplane and becomes evident that there is plenty of room for more people.
I discounted all later statements under Hawking’s name because there is no way to verify they are actually his. His unnamed handlers issue statements and the press blithely prints them without any verification.
Without meaning to toot my own horn, I picked up on this years ago and watched as he became the scientist darling of all leftists. And it also was evident, to me anyway, that he reveled in that leftist limelight.
