Ron Dudelston Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Admired his will but didn't care for the guy. He thought he was God. Link to comment
Al B Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Maybe so Ron. I thought that he believed the universe itself was god, though he never said it in so many words. Through all his hardships he always maintained his sense of humor. Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 His intellect is what fascinated me. His religious beliefs or, lack thereof, never detracted from that, for me. Whatever his beliefs or speculations, he knows for sure, now. Link to comment
Al B Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I watched an interview that Neil De Grasse Tyson had with Steven Hawkins a short time ago. When asked about the future of the humans on earth, he sounded very pessimistic. He said , "Not in his words" We will accomplish amazing things if we can get past the next 100 years., but unless the world changes the direction it going in, we may not reach that time When asked his views concerning religion, he basically said that religions came about from superstitions. People are comforted by their religious beliefs, and religion will continue to exist as long as humans are here. They do not understand science of the universe as it exists I'd say that in his mind, God doesn't exist. Guess he knows the answer for sure now. Link to comment

That is true. He was a practicing atheist. Like all of us, we will know for certain at the end of this life. Unfortunately, at that time, there will be no do-overs or opportunity to change what we believe. Link to comment
