What Is Wrong With Stephen Hawking?


When someone asks the question "What is wrong with Stephen Hawking?" they should qualify their question. If you want to know what is wrong with Dr. Hawking from a physical stand point the answer is simple. Dr. Hawking has battled Lou Gehrig disease for 50 years. In fact, we can congratulate Hawkings courage and perseverance against this disease because it claims most of its victims in a relatively short time.
If you want to know what is wrong with Dr. Hawking from a spiritual perspective the answer is pretty simple as well. Dr. Hawking used to acknowledge a small role for God in the creation of the universe. However, in recent years he no longer sees God as a necessary ingredient in the story of origins. He has made the following statement.."The universe can and will create itself out of nothing." He is also credited with the following quote..."We are each free to believe what we want, and it's my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god". I personally don't see how anyone could come to the conclusion that all that can be seen with the eye and all that is invisible to us just "created" itself! Maybe it's just me but I think it takes more blind faith to believe that nonsense then to believe that "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". You can read more about Dr. Hawkings beliefs or lack thereof at this site.
So then, what is Dr. Hawking's spiritual problem? He is a fool according to the Word of God.

Psalm 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I know what you are thinking, I don't have a Ph.D. in physics and I wasn't a professor in mathematics at Cambridge for 30 years. You're right, I'm just a simple man who believes the Bible is the Word of God. The Bible makes it very clear, if you don't acknowledge God's existence and His essential part in all the universe then you are a "fool". 
I hope for a couple of things for Dr. Hawking. I hope that his physical condition could improve and that his suffering could be eased. Most of all, I hope that Dr. Hawking will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as His Savior and Lord.
