He blinded me with science

British scientist Stephen Hawking's book is an attempt to answer "the Ultimate Question of Life."
Steven Hawking has settled the question of the origin of the universe and has declared that God is not needed. Physics is all we need, or so says Hawking. We can all go home now.

What is the source of the origin of the universe? Gravity. Yep, that's right, plain old fashioned, things fall down, gravity. Who'd a thunk it? Why didn't we look there before? What...... you don't get it? You're a rube, a naif, a man who clings to the opiate of the idea of God. You are a poorly educated, anti-science fool. So there, and if you come back again I shall taunt you a second time.

Hawking is the mystical sage of the science world who gives pronouncements like the Buddha. He says that "Spontaneous creation is the reason why there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist" and that gravity is the reason behind all of this. Get it?

He is playing the part of the grand magician who can pull the universe out of the hat of gravity. What is amazing is that so many smart people are fooled by a cheap trick.

The Bible has seen many Hawkings' come and go and has said in no uncertain terms that no matter how many physics equations one can breakdown, a fool says in his heart "There is no God" (Psalm 14:1,53:1). Smart people can say the most foolish thing possible.

**to "blind with science" means to deliberately confuse someone by giving the impression of highly complex knowledge.
