This and That – Stephen Hawking is Brilliant?

The brilliant intellectual Stephen Hawking stated: “We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

After reading Mr. Hawking’s statement, I’m thankful that God made me stupid; just stupid enough to believe that there is a God and that there is an afterlife, which is either Heaven or Hell. I’ve chosen the first over the latter because I, too, have had a “profound realization.”

Big hug, y’all!
