The earth was created from a black hole that was also the creator of time. That being said there is no need for a grand Designer or Creator. There is no God! All that was paraphrased from a show Stephen Hawking hosted last night called Curiosity . In the show, he attempted to go back in time some 3+ billion years ago and show what happened to the earth to create it. He did all this in the name of science.
In case you live under a rock and don't know who Stephen Hawking is, according to his website he is a theoretical physicist.He has ALS and is confined to a wheel chair. He has a computer that talks through his brain. All in all, his research is pretty solid and cutting edge. He is a smart fellow.
But he really showed just how dumb he can be(can't we all) on Sunday night's show. First off, he assumed by reversing the explosion of supernovas and creations of black holes that he could recreate the "Big Bang". The trouble with that is no one has ever actually seen a creation of a black hole. They generally are just there. We can assume or guess what happens but there is no real proof of the exact process. So Hawking's guesses are just that....guesses, assumptions, scenarios, not truths. He wants us to take on faith that what he has "proven" to be true. Meanwhile, our faith in God is just a crutch on which we carefully balance hope. His option is the better of the 2, according to him.
Why? Why should I believe him? Has he ever worked a miracle in my life? Has he ever spoken to me in the darkness of night? Has Stephen Hawking ever brought peace in an impossibly difficult time? Nope, he hasn't! Only 1 has ever done that....God.
Why should there be any difficulty in believing the God of the Universe can create everything...black holes, super novas, time? If I am going to serve a God, I want Him to be all-powerful, all-knowing, ever present deity who can create and manipulate the very strands of time. Not some wimpy god who cannot exist outside the bounds of human capability. What hope is there in that?
So, Mr. Hawking, I disagree with your carefully but incorrectly thought out statement about there not being a God. I believe that you have done 1 of 2 things.
1) you have either challenged God to prove Himself to you in a very real way
2) you have chosen to close yourself off to God.
I sincerely hope that you have option 1 in your pocket. God loves you and wants to show Himself to you. I urge you, Stephen Hawking, to truly open your mind to let Him in!
I read somewhere (blog, or comment on a blog, I don't remember) if you take a watch apart, every single little tiny piece, put them in a cup, shake it all up and dump it onto a table, no matter how many times you do it, it is never going to just fall out of the cup back into a perfectly put back together watch. And that is the worst run on sentence I have ever written in my life LOL
ReplyDeleteYes! Great post! Wahoo! Just stopping by. Following you from the Newsday Tuesday Blog Hop. I am so excited that voiceboks is such a supportive group and that it now has hopper mania! Would love a visit and a follow back! Thanks. Nice to meet you. :)

Very good points and so true! I love to see the Hubble telescope movies where they show places where stars and planets are being created. I'm so awe inspired by God's beautiful creations in space and on Earth. Some day that man will meet his maker, I'm glad he is a forgiving God.
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for your post. My husband is science minded and doesn't believe in God. He just hasn't had the need for Him. I pray for the day when he'll fall on his knees and ask for comfort and peace. God will be there. I'm a new follower from VB. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Kelly, I like that! What a great analogy!
ReplyDeleteShana, thanks for the follow I will check you out later this evening!
Caren, I too love seeing what God can do and how He makes beautiful things!
Dayna, see if you can get your hubby to check out the scientists from Answers in Genesis. They have much more knowledge on this than I and can back it up scientifically. Thanks for following! I will be by to check you out later!
