Dear Stephen Hawking

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator – Stephen Hawking

Dear Stephen

            I have heard about you. I also heard you died. Sorry about that. I know you were stuck in a wheel chair. Your science work was good stuff while you were here. I suppose if you invented anything then you can’t patent it. I mean, how could you take credit if the creator does not matter. Your ideas and inventions are nice. Your quotes are witty. Yet, you cannot take credit. We don’t need a creator to know what you know. Just give us the crud you thought of.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special – Stephen Hawking

Wow, this planet isn’t special. Look at all the other planets and moons just in our solar system. Boy they sure have great atmospheres to hold life. The thousands of creatures are amazing on mars (still looking). The air and water are almost usable on the moon. Oh, the monkey thing. So, a smart person rationalizes that we are close to monkeys. Closer to that end of the chain. Yet, we can’t be closer to the God end. I get that.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road – Stephen Hawking

Hey Stephen, chickens cross the road too, but I would not really wanna be one. Their fate sucks. Predestination is for idiots. God gives us choice. Only the arrogant believe God has handpicked some and rejected others. Even a man in a wheel chair can do amazing things, right Stephen and Rick Hansen. We can change things Stephen, but this idiot race of humans loves to repeat history. Predestined to fail at times?

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge – Stephen Hawking

Awe that is so sweet. Only the smart can truly find and know what is not known. The rest of us stupid people will just lay under trees and wonder what Stephen found out today. The rest of us advanced monkeys (apparently not all) will just search for the best banana. The Mother Teresa’s and Nelson Mandela’s will just flounder along until you and your smart friends figure it out.

What does God have to say? 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

It’s about discovery Stephen as you know. God asked us to look, seek, ask, and find. He told us we had it in us. We have the ability to overcome even not being able to walk (invent the wheelchair). Man did it? Well yes, God gave man the ability to do it. God could have just provided those advanced monkeys a wheelchair. Instead God said try, fail, succeed, and invent. God said look to the heavens and beyond. Thankfully Stephen we did or we would be eating advanced bananas.

Stephen I am sorry your gone. I am sorry you don’t believe in God. He believed in you enough anyways to give you the power to see beyond a wheelchair. I hope that your warm resting place is ok. Save a spot for Suzuki, Nye, Winfrey, and many others. You were smart but now you’re just a memory. So, will be Bill Gates, Henry Ford, and Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks? I thought she was just a poor black girl? I thought she was not a scientist? I thought she was better than advanced monkeys? Science is weird eh, Stephen?
