Stephen Hawking Says Science Will Beat Religion
“There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works,” Stephen Hawking tells Diane Sawyer in an interview to air tonight on ABC’s World News.
He also tells her that:
What could define God [is thinking of God] as the embodiment of the laws of nature. However, this is not what most people would think of that God. 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.
and another thing to add to my recent comment; science does not create happiness nor does it give happiness it has only made people desperate; nuclear bombs didnt solve anything; guns definetly not; why would you start something (science) that is going to eat away at us eventually; science will be our undoing if we take it too far

Hawkings is a physicist dealing with basic Laws of Nature. He doesn’t understand that in biology, let alone the human mind, things get a lot more complicated. My blog is dedicated to demonstrating how God is part of nature.
Thats stupid, science has let us (the human race) advance in technology more than we have since the earliest recorded civilization and all because of science, religion could not have created the internal combustion engine or the LCD TV, if not for science we would still be living our lives based on the commandments (no proof of them) given by a man in the sky, science will never be our undoing, only our salvation
Science has been persecuted countless of times by oppressive religious regimes in the past (Plato, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Einstein). How can we greater our understanding of things if we are restraint by religious belief created by our ancient ancestors who did not have the technology we possess today? Do we not have the freedom to study and learn what we know not of?
Religion has proven to be the fuel. People want to to and be better, so they research and learn and are given the answers. It is not science proves God is not there. It is simply God proving science was his natural way of letting us find our way through the changing times and as always back to him.
I am sorry, religion has not done anything to advance human beings as a species. The reason why our lives can be in comfort and allow us to experience so many different things in the world is because of science. The car you drive, the heated place you live, planes to fly and all the things that make life easier to enjoy. Science has been attacked for at least a 1000 years and it continues today. I believe science, not religion will be our salvation.
