He and his colleagues, but especially professor Hawking is getting very close to articulating something really important. Still not quite there, but very close.<br /><br />I went back and re-listened to and read some of Hawkings' earlier work which amazed me just some years ago . . . and in the shadow of his latest, "M-theory", his ealier works already seem simplistic.<br /><br />It's fair to say Hawking is an atheist . . . because the whole premise of the scientific method in ascertaining an answer to how we got here etc., is to really answer the question with the scientific principles/theorems advanced without a gap requiring a further undefined power or premise, such as "God," not already encapsulated within those scientific principles.<br /><br />The Grand Design left me a real hankering for more from the mind of Stephen Hawking. I suspect he may be the most brilliant human being ever.JSM447https://www.blogger.com/profile/08846622851129318144noreply@blogger.com
