What do you think? Can you wrap your mind around something being created from nothing?
Sure. It's actually easier to grasp than any of the current theories about the origin of the universe. I think I intuitively understand something from nothing better than the ins and outs of the big bang.
Do you think the bulk of Hawking's work will mark science's final rejection of God?
No. Science should reject God as a matter of principle. Hawking's input is irrelevant.
Do you think science and religion will continue to coexist?
Yes. And, I think there will always be people who treat science as a religion.
Do you think they should?
I don't think it's a question of should. I think it's inevitable.
Do you think they can, adequately?
I have no idea. Enlightened ages come and go. We certainly seem to be heading in an unenlightened direction in the US and I think religion is only a small cause.
