Before looking at the "most of you" on the board, I would question whether it was the board's "know-it-all-about-everything" who had narcissistic urges centering on his own intellect, but maybe you are right and it is everyone else.

ROFL!!! (Adopting the evolutionist stance): What are your qualifications for saying that? What books have you read on narcissism? Did you read the whole book or did you just do some quote mining? Do you have a degree in psychology? From what university? What's you IQ? Can you prove that? Can you list all of the locations in the brain and the neurotransmitters that are active during narcissistic episodes? Most Catholics believe that this is not narcissism, so what makes you qualified to say otherwise? And so on...

LMAO, when did I ever insult the man? I was simply getting your attention. Hes a genius, and he says some great things about God.
I asked if you all follow this idea? Considering the emotional response, I know that you do worship him, blindly, as you all pointed out.

Actually, the question is whether you should believe Hawking or the Bible. The two explanations are different in nature. The Bible records it as an historic event. Hawking theorizes it based on his imagination.
Regardless, the Biblical record has two advantages over Hawking's theory. First, the account of creation was dictated to the author by the Creator Himself, so it comes from Someone Who knew a little about how it happened. Second, being thousands of years old, it was written closer to the actual historical event, and therefore even by secular standards it is more reliable information than anything anyone can write today.

Is Stephen Hawking Really This Stupid?
-Emotional title to get your attention. Recall I also said he was a genius.
Do you all actually buy this? <-- First question.
If so, why? <-- Second question.
You have no explanation other than "you wouldnt understand, so we cant talk about it"
And this is a "discussion forum"?

Nope, I asked do you all believe this, as it seems it was pulled out of his butt, and if so, why? If you don't know why, it is BLIND FAITH hiding behind "complexity."
I never lied.

Really? What are those reasons? Do you understand them? No? Blind faith, have you? Point proven.

And I will say this one more time. IT ISNT PROVEN. It is a hypothetical! LMAOYou all got so upset when your God was attacked, and you think we are irrational?
Originally posted by s0uljah
I have nothing to defend. This is your God's theory. Again, I was simply asking if you believe it, and why?
If you take that as insulting, then that is fine. It wasn't my intention.

IMO it is based entirely on imagination. After he "imagined" it, he did a lot of math. So what? It's still imagination.
That's not necessarily bad. Einstein formulated a lot of his theories based on his imagination. That was part of his genius. But we've been able to observe that many of his theories are true, or nearly so.
When we've been able to observe the hypersphere, I'll move it from the pure fantasy column over to the observed phenomenon column. Until then, it belongs in fairyland.

Do you have conclusive evidence that "most of you" worship, pray to, and present offerings to the supposed gods, Stephen Hawking and science? If not, then your accusation is based on your imaginative faculties alone.
Originally posted by humblejoe
Again, I don't believe that anyone opposing your tactics holds science or Stephen Hawking as her personal god. It is insulting to imply such a thing without knowing these people on a personal basis; it is insulting to them and does nothing but make you look bad and give a bad name to our religion, Christianity.

Stephen Hawking is a heckuva lot smarter than any of us here. He has been so ill for so long but is still kicking. A little divine plan maybe?
Originally posted by humblejoe
So every person that seeks to protect Hawking from being scandalized about a scientific hypothesis of his by a person that knows virtually nothing about cosmological astrophysics and cannot refute him is worshipping him? That's interesting...
Generally, it's not good practice to attack something you do not understand. I thought you would be well acquainted with that concept, being a recent Roman Catholic convert.
