I am nearly as surprised to hear that he is a high priest as he would be. He is a real scientist, but you know him because he is a pop science book writer, and because his physical affliction makes him popular with the human interest magazines. Neither fact gives him particular status in the scientific community. His scientific training and activity gives him no particular authority on religious matters. His pronouncements there rest on his reasoning. It is not the science of physics which argues for or against gods, but only some physicists. Some physicists claim there *are gods, but they know that they have no scientific evidence for it. When you claim that God has material characteristics that can be verified, then science can study her. It, Him, Them, Whatever. Does your god have a mass, or a temperature? Does she reside somewhere and leave footprints which can be photographed? I so, then he is a fit subject for science. But until you make claims that imply material effects which can be verified by others, there is nothing science can do with it. > > Mitch Raemsch > > > > > --http://desertphile.org > > Desertphile's Desert Soliloquy.

That part of science is > not going to win the argument against God. You keep mentioning some argument against God, but you don't say clearly what you think that argument actually is. Clearly you misrepresent what Hawking meant. Why does Hawking's question threatens your belief in God's existence?

That is exactly what Hawking meant. Is it not?
