Stephen Hawking
I just finished reading an interesting article on Yahoo (link above) where he says "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing . . . it is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going." Excuse me? Who does he think created the universe and the law of gravity? I like to consider myself as being science-minded, but, at the same time, I realize that God created the things that we study in the field of science.
Mr. Hawking would probably try to explain away why I've survived 46 years with Hydrocephalus and never figure God into the equation. But, I know for a fact, science isn't what kept me alive . . . it was God. Medical science said "he won't survive . . . take him home and let him die." According to my research, Mr. Hawking is something of a miracle man himself. He suffers from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease") -- a form of Muscular Dystrophy. What makes his case different is the fact that he has survived more than three times longer that was expected by his doctors when he was diagnosed at age 21. He is sixty-eight. If, as is his opinion about the universe, and there is no need for God, how does he explain surviving this long with a condition that is normally fatal within ten (10) years of diagnosis.
Mr. Hawking, from one miracle man to another, I think we need to sit down and talk.
Until next time . . .
