Stephen Hawking: Blind Squirrel Finds Nut

By Dave Squires, Co-author of The Ungettable Joke

Stephen Hawking, the famous wheelchair bound physicist, has declared himself the founder of reality and truth. He pusports to have found something, and gives himself credit for it, but his own mathematics (or rather the mathematics of his contemporaries) defy his conclusion.

"But", you say, "isn't he a brilliant scientist?"

Perhaps,
but he is not sufficiently brilliant to understand who God is, or how
God could exist before the big bang. If fact, like the blind squirrel
that finally finds a nut, it could well be that Stephen Hawking has
accidentally discovered a law that guarantees God's existence. If he can
interpret it correctly.

He explains that God could not
exist before the big bang because time did not exist before the big
bang. This is like saying that bacteria did not exist until we
discovered the microscope. The idea that Mr. Hawking could understand
the nature of God without an instrument through which to view Him is
ludicrous. The bible itself says in many ways that God is timeless. God
describes himself as having no beginning and no end. In fact, he
describes himself AS the beginning and the end. That may be said to be
description of time collapsed upon itself in an infinite loop so small
that no time passes as you go around the loop. 

To
illustrate Mr. Hawking's lack of imagination, let me provide you with an
example that he gave on his television series "Stephen Hawking's Grand
Design". (From this title you might get the idea that Mr. Hawking would
like to be seen as the father of the godless universe he defines. I
believe you are right.)

Here is Mr. Hawking's unimaginative example:

He
said that looking for God before the big bang, before time existed, is a
question that makes no sense. He says it is like asking for directions
to the edge of the Earth. In his explanation, you cannot find the edge
of the Earth because the Earth is a globe.

This is a
poor analogy and simply incorrect. Mr. Hawking, and his wheel chair are
sitting ON the edge of the Earth. The edge of a solid globe is its
surface! We are all on the edge of the Earth unless we are airborne,
underground, or underwater.

Now, the fact that Mr.
Hawking cannot understand what a timeless being is, or how such a being
could bring the known universe, or universes, into existence, does not
mean this being cannot exist anymore than the bacteria that killed many a
hapless plague victim did not exist because they had no microscope with
which to view them. An unseen thing can be very real yet remain unseen
until we learn how to see it. Will we ever learn how to "see" God? I
suspect that will be up to Him. No person or quantity of people who
pretend He does not exist will have any effect on His existence.

I
am an engineer with a few years of physics under my belt as well. This
does not make me the worlds greatest physicist, nor do I presume to be.
But, in my work with other engineers and scientists, I have learned
something about imagination, and what I do presume and assert is that
Mr. Hawking's conclusion is unimaginative. He is like a proverbial blind
man claiming to understand the complete description of an elephant by
touching only its trunk.

His theory, by his own logic,
cannot be proven. For, if time did not exist prior to the big bang, and
he asserts that it is logical to conclude that God could not cause the
big bang, then I assert that it is much more logical to conclude that
the big bang could not cause itself. If there is no time, then there are
no actions -- all clocks and motion are stopped as Mr. Hawking
illustrated in his program.

To find the answer, Mr. Hawking may appreciate this interesting fact:

In
the bible Moses asks God whom he should say has sent him to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt. God says: "I AM THAT I AM... Thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." In other
words, God calls himself self-existent, and therefore timeless, having
no cause and no creator. If Mr Hawking has discovered anything, it is
this. That is, his calculations almost certainly prove the opposite of
what he asserts. They prove that self-existence is possible, and that
time must be started by something that is both self-existent but also animated.

So,
Mr. Hawking, like a blind squirrel, might indeed have rediscovered a
nut -- but he thought it was a rock. His self-existent particle from
which he says the universe sprang is, again by his own assertion, frozen
in time -- that is, it is NOT animated. Hence, the logical conclusion
is that an animated entity is required to set things in motion. This
animated entity must also be timeless. Such an entity has made Himself
known to us. He has a name. He calls himself I AM. We call him God.

Sorry, Mr, Hawking, the name of the ultimate animated being is not Stephen Hawking, and the Grand Design is not yours, but His.

You
can come back down to the edge of the Earth now. Welcome to reality.
Now, go read Kurt Godel and King James and get your head on straight.
