Stephen Hawking is a world renowned British scientist and a leader in the world of Physics. His book, A Brief History of Time, sold nearly 10 million copies.
He was quoted this week as saying, “Heaven is a fairy story”
“I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”
Now I’m not a genius but I can say with confidence that every believer has experienced the supernatural and witnessed miraculous things that cannot be explained by science. We have been touched by God.
Let me quote some other smart people…
David (King of Israel)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God… Psalm 14:1-3
Apostle Paul (New Testament Writer)
26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1 Corinthians 1:26-28
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:18-22
Jesus Christ (Savior of the World)
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Matthew 11:25
Please say a prayer for Stephen Hawking, pray that the Lord would be revealed to him!
