Are Cons smarter than Stephen Hawking?

Question

Stephen Hawking explained the Big Bang and Cons say Intelligent Design...

Answer 1

Intelligent Design doesn't preclude the Big Bang. Shouldn't this question be in the Religion section?

Answer 2

I watched a show with Stephen Hawking talking about the Universe. He said, "If the Universe had a beginning then the universe would have a purpose."

Was that purpose of the universe was to evolve intelligent human beings? Then why humans running amok, breaking their own laws, hooked on drugs, involved in numerous wars, drinking excessively. being gay and lesbians and all kinds of other behavior that doesnt comply with any kind of natural behavior that I would expect.

Oh by the way the bible written 2000+ years ago said we'd all be behaving this way. Evolution doesnt make sense

Answer 3

Not the best way to ask this questions. If you read Hawkings "A brief History of the universe" he cheats. I am sorry to say it the man cheated. He explains his entire Big Bang/String Theory and all the rest and then basically says "When we get to the Big Bang the rules that we have played by change and two plus two no longer equals four"

I am sorry but he bends his own science in order to make the point that there is no intelligent design.

Nothing in the Big Bang theory precludes God by the way. And in any universe designed by God or otherwise two plus two must equal four all the time not some of the time

Also to say that only Conservatives believe in God or intelligent design, I am a Democrat and tend to be a liberal and see the hand of God more in the values of the democratic party then the republican

Answer 4

I'm an adult, I don't do the dance of the Vulgaries. Clearly, Stephen Hawkings is one of the most brilliant 'thinkers' on the face of this green earth. It's so bloody easy to mock him, to ridicule him, but within, say, a half-century such primitive nonsense as ID, when mentioned at all in the history books, shall require a paragraph of explanation, but not so SH. Try to catch up, chaps, the earth is spinning, the world is changing, the era of horse-and-buggy is no more.

Answer 5

And why would intelligent design and the big bang be mutually exclusive?
Im not a church goer at all, but it isnt hard to imagine that if you were to assume the big bang and be a religious believer well, why wouldnt 'god' cause the big bang as part of intelligent design... I would imagine it would be easier to develop things in that kind of a manner I suppose.

Answer 6

Well since there's zero evidence for intelligent design,just let them believe what they want,but make sure they can't put their intelligent design BS into schools as if it were science. Of course intelligent design is nothing more than another attempt to try and get religion back in schools.

Answer 7

As far as I know Hawking did not come up with the Big Bang. Both theories are strictly that; theories.

Answer 8

No...All the cons mentality compiled in a compost heap wouldn't make a wart on Stephen Hawking's A**

Answer 9

Brian –

Tell that to conservatives who insist on replacing science instruction in our classrooms with the folktales and mythological beliefs of illiterate semi-nomadic goat herders who lived thousands of years ago.

You never fell for that ‘education-is-important’ nonsense, huh?

Thomas G –

It is not a cheat. Science ‘defines’ the origin of the known universe as the Big Bang and honestly states that the physics prior to that moment remain unknown.

Also, we can still ‘see’ the light and ‘hear’ the sound of the Big Bang; and that is more than can be said of any God.

Answer 10

No...most cons aren't smarter than stephen baldwin!
