Stephen Hawking Dismisses God and Calls Heaven a "Fairy Story"

Noted theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking is trending after he dismissed the idea of Heaven as "a fairy story." In an upcoming interview with The Guardian, Hawking said, "There is no heaven or afterlife ... that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

He has come under fire from religious circles before, most recently after his book, The Grand Design, argued that god did not create the universe and that The Big Bang was a natural event that could've created everything from nothing.

And type like a normal human being not in all caps.

@tigersforchrist Why do you guys always quote the bible when talking to atheists??? they don't believe in the bible so why quote it? and saying only a real fool would claim god dosnt exist is pretty far fetched seems how Stephen hawking is one of the best thinkers of all time

"Could have created everything from nothing."

That makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Look, I'm a deist. I've learned to let the origins of the universe go. It's something the human race will never explain, and we know we can't. What does it matter whether God or Allah or the Big Bang did it? Someday, it will come time that we all find out. It will be a frightening moment indeed, but it will be brilliant. Do not dwell on Oblivion. Instead, enjoy your time until you meet it.

I am very open to Christianity, but only if someone can prove it to be real.
