doesn't the statement of Stephen Hawking apply to most of the people who answered where he said
"THE GREATEST ENEMY OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT IGNORANCE ... IT IS THE ILLUSION OF KNOWLEDGE"

well.. does it not..???

can someone please explain to me how these people came "to know what they think" is facts??? who is feeding them these lies about prophet Mohammed (pbuh)...???

"Yoda Green".. what they are claiming has been refuted many times... it is pointless to keep trying to make a group of people understand what they do not want to understand.. and even if they understand, do not want to believe that it is true... it is like talking to a person who's fingers and stuck to their ears...

Answer 2

The Bible agrees with Hawking. So-called knowledge leads to an exaggerated sense of one's ego. See the apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 8:1-10 in the New Testament.

Answer 3

No one living can prove anything about this fellow. Therefore, some will feel just as much hate for him as others feel love. No one knows who the man really was.

Religion and faith are one thing, but facts are another. Take what others say about your faith with a grain of salt -- in other words, what they say and/or feel doesn't matter.

Ignorance and the illusion of knowledge often go hand in hand and serve as pretty good defenses against education and true knowledge. Don't sweat others' ignorance, bigotry, etc.

Answer 4

"(for this reason there replaced into no exchange beforehand the great bang)" under M-concept (Membrane concept) this assertion isn't actual. in spite of the undeniable fact that, "under such situations each and every of the guidelines of technology, and for this reason all skill to foretell the destiny, might destroy down." This assertion is certainly actual. meaning that at that 2nd, causality can't exist. such as a results of fact the top reason. under M-concept, time can certainly have existed beforehand the great Bang (which M-concept might rename as a results of fact the great Bump). it is in basic terms that as a results of excessive situations of the BB (p.c.. your well-known B right here), there's a barrier previous which we can't bypass in our investigations. i'm sorry to assert that your request for a take would not jibe which incorporate your declare for it no longer being an attraction to authority. yet however, Stephen Hawking isn't an expert on God. he's an expert on stellar physics concept. "one ought to think of that God created the universe on the on the spot of the great bang" - or, with the aid of ability of Occam's Razor, merely come to a determination that God isn't required for the universe to be derived from that journey with out outdoors intervention. although M-concept's huge Bump easily does qualify as an outdoors journey. merely no longer one engineered with the aid of a sentient supernatural being. Stephen Hawking is a suggestions-blowing guy or woman, little doubt, yet God is speculative for everyone in this worldwide. (remember, God's kingdom isn't of this worldwide.) "(it somewhat is incomprehensible to think remember/potential presuppose the great bang)" fake. under M-concept, it is easy to somewhat and meaningfully make this form of presupposition. in fact, it somewhat is needed under M-concept, which does no longer even require a real singularity. Even utilizing the classic BB, you pick remember and potential bottled up interior the singularity so as to gasoline the BB.

Answer 5

Ignorance of existing knowledge means that such knowledge exists and is available to learn. Most people are ignorant of much knowledge because they did not have access to such knowledge to learn from it.
Ignorance implies that those who are ignorant still have a capacity to learn.
Stupidity is a refusal or an inability to learn. I don't mind ignorant people, I do mind people who have the capacity to learn who refuse to learn.
The best example of the illusion of knowledge being dangerous I can give would be the evangelicals or cult leaders who lure in their followers with appealing kernels of truth but cloak their lies, and lead their followers with their cloaked lies covered by kernels of truth ultimately to their deaths. I believe the History Channel recently had a special about the Jim Jones cult and the mass suicide that resulted several years ago, about the Branch Davidians (Did I say that right?) and their destruction, and the other cults that resulted in the deaths of innocents and believers swayed into believing lies by clever truths.
Stephen Hawking was also referring to how so many of us base our entire existence upon what we don't know. So many times we make wrong choices in our lives based on misinformation (how many teenage girls get pregnant or VD's based on sex education from misinformation from unreliable sources?) or being unable to correctly comprehend the whole picture? How many people get married and divorced based on one good one-night stand not knowing anything about the other person in daily life? How many people hear only part of the story and spread lies and rumors based on untruths or a partial story, with all opinion and no facts? How many people's live have been ruined by people believing the source of lies and rumors presenting their illusion of knowledge and refusing to acknowledge their ignorance of the truth?
There is more danger in a group of gossiping woman spreading stories based on hearsay and circumstantial evidence than there is in the former belief that the world was flat, because so few women will go out of their way to seek the truth from the source, they would rather base their opinion on the illusion.

As for how people come to know what they think are facts, you must realize that so much religious information is based on personal opinions or interpretations, and not facts. Even worse, the illusion of knowledge is given more often in religious interpretation as personal interpretations are more often than not taught or told as facts and NOT as personal opinion. When the truth is hidden, or the sources continually unreliable, people will believe the lies when there is no truth. Sorry, it's just the way it is.
But I do believe and follow the credo of Fox Mulder - "The Truth IS Out There." And I am one of the few people in the world who goes out of her way to find it.
Hope that helps...

Answer 6

Well. Stephen Hawking.is a man..and all he says is just supposition...and all that Newton and Maxwell said is just supposition...except those things where Newton and Maxwell notices and the last accepts. that the matter has forces of atraction from God God says that our biggest enemy is satan...of course satan creates a false knowledge and that knowledge makes us live in false but knowledge is not a being is smth abstract, while satan is a veing and obviously and enemy...the biggest..enemy of God, and of people...

Answer 7

It applies to anyone who tries to judge someone else simply by seeing their style and beliefs based on limited knowledge of it.

Many idiots in the world follow that method. In my opinion that's one of the key differences between this world and the next. Nobody judges anybody in Heaven, and those condemned to Hell (most of humanity) have already been judged and their sins known.

Answer 8

Good quote...Add that.... Faith not based on fact is fantacy.

Those of The True Christian Faith know The FACT... God is The Fact that supports The Faith

Answer 9

Well you ARE turning their facts into what is more convenient for you.
You haven't been able to refute ONE single fact that they posted. And for good reason too.

Answer 10

'a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing'
