Stephen Hawking
This is a quote from this world famous physicist and I like your comments on this.
“I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound
realisation that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for
that, I am extremely grateful.”

Ashes to ashes , dust to dust....
My motto, " Better have fun while you can "
Religion is believing, science is knowing .......
What's the difference between praying in a Church vs praying in a casino ??
Answer, You REALLY mean it, in a casino...

Oh God!
George Burns and John Denver pretty much displayed my religious convictions.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

People have different beliefs, some for the good and some for the bad.
I think most people that don't believe in God seem to find him or her on their death bed. I'm not saying there is or isn't a God, that is for you to
decide or believe, nor should you confuse God for religion. Just my opinion.

The death bed quote is
similar to "There are no atheists in fox holes."
We don't stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing

People say god is all knowing, all seeing and the embodiment to peace and beauty. My question is, “how do you know if you can’t see god?”
I share the same birthday as Hawking, Bowie and Elvis. All heros of mine!

I’m still trying to figure out what came first? The chicken or the egg?
Also don’t try to figure out the odds of the Big Bang throwing out debris that became the earth and a smaller piece that became the moon that
regulates the tides which are essential to life on earth, and put both into an orbit around the sun conducive to sustaining life. And that’s just
start.

In an infinite universe the odds are high that there are many earth-like planets out there.
The odds are high that there are many alien intelligent species out there. Many are probably much smarter and more humane than our pathetic Homo
sapiens.
Woke!

Yes , I SO agree !
But don't forget.
When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

And also this, which always evokes Baja for me.
At first flash of Eden
We race down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun

Why comment if there is no God?
Obviously because those who deny; worship their one true god = self.
So if there is no 'god' then there is no 'you'.
Unless 'you' are 'god' and thus you think you have something worthy of considering...but you don't.

It has become the norm to attack/deny Christianity. I don't see these same people doing the same to Islam because they're afraid of waking up without
their heads.
