Stephen Hawking says afterlife is a fairy story !! There is no God !!

...
Then there is the entire concept that god is perfect. Well guess what... god, as you religious people say, created man... and man is imperfect.

If god is perfect and created man, who is imperfect... therein god is IMPERFECT.
...

You see all work and no play makes Ste[hen a very dull boy.
Mind you see what happens if you play out in the traffic!
How many scientists are so immersed on one particular subject that they forget about the rest of their surroundings or worse still the ramifications of their projects.
The afterlife has been proven way back in 1874 by Sir William Crookes. He performed demonstrations of communication with ethereal beings (spirits) and could back up any of his findings with empirical evidence.
After his undeniable demonstrations, the Vatican campaigned to have him portrayed as a sleaze bag and a lowlife of dubious character. It seems that the afterlife is not much like what is portrayed by the church (or the fundies)
Passing into the next life is just the cessation of existance in this dimension and for most but the lowest most selfish buggers will be much better than what we endure here. Religion does not mean a thing in the next dimension although our situation in the next life is enhanced by our "light". The less selfish we are in this
realm the better of we are in the next. This is why although religion doesn't count, our actions towards others
means more than just about anything else. It seems to indicate that we take our trash with us wherever we go as long as we aren't prepared to get rid of it.
Good news for most of us.
An Australian billionaire had a massive heart attack some years ago (Kerry Packer) he was revived and stated that he had news for us poor believers.
He stated that all he could remember from his NDE was that everything was black. He said that that was all he remembers about his death experience. Funny if there was nothing there how could he remember this? It seems that those who expect nothing in the next life will experience that same nothingness. See hope is a good thing.
For anybody interested in what happens in the afterlife.

cheers to all.

That black hole would actually be hell. The screams inside that deep dark pit are negative souls. They stay there for what feels like to them is an eternity,then eventually released to right there wrongs in another life.

Believe or not, your choice.

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking recently explained his belief that there is no God and that humans should therefore seek to live the most valuable lives they can while on Earth.

Guardian writer Ian Sample asked Hawking if he feared death in a story published yesterday. This was his response:


I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

Hawking's 1988 book "A Brief History of Time" sold 9 million copies, and in it Hawking referenced God metaphorically as the force that could fully explain the creation of the universe.

But in 2010, Hawking told Diane Sawyer that "science will win" in a battle with religion "because it works."


"What could define God [is a conception of divinity] as the embodiment of the laws of nature. However, this is not what most people would think of that God," Hawking told Sawyer. "They made a human-like being with whom one can have a personal relationship. When you look at the vast size of the universe and how insignificant an accidental human life is in it, that seems most impossible."

SAD...

But perspective or perception is an individuals reality. Stephen, for all his beautiful intellect, has a unique position in this life. The ONLY thing that has benefited him in his mind is SCIENCE.

Without the science allowing him to communicate, we would all percieve him as a mute, disabled, mentally retarded, person.

So I do understand him thinking if God were bigger, then God would have done more than science could for him.

BUT....

A thing we have not understood yet is that God, or source, or Jehovah, whatever you want to call it, him, them....

Is the author of ALL creation. INCLUDING the entire universe, mathematics, and, most importantly.....SCIENCE.

Stephen is smart, but is lacking in his ability to comprehend that without GOD there would be nothing.

Belief in something is imperative to the advancement of humans.
