    <body><![CDATA[Hawking has an absolutely amazing mind.  However, he also has an ability to explain things at very basic levels.  Occasionally he simply cannot avoid some mathematical information that might blur the understanding for those with less education.<br/><br/>It is amazing the amount of theory and just plain thinking that has gone into these areas of study.  I found it amazing that Hawking would almost build a complete case for why the Big Bank could not have occurred and why there must be an intelligent creator for everything.  Yet, it was almost as if his pre-supposition that it must have happened forced him to go back to the drawing board and keep looking until he could come up with another explanation...no matter how much more complicated it might be required to be.<br/><br/>I believe this book can be very helpful in understanding the naturalistic mindset and does open the door for some very healthy discussions that could lead a person to Intelligent Design and even purpose in life.]]></body>
