UK - The famous theoretical physicist died in March this year at the age of 76 but left behind some truly astonishing predictions in his final book which has just been released. One of his bold predictions in his book titled Brief Answers To The Big Questions was that God does not exist. He described his claim there is no afterlife or higher power as a “profound realisation”.
Professor Hawking wrote in the newly-published book: “We are free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is that there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realisation: there is probably no heaven and afterlife either. I think belief in the afterlife is just wishful thinking. There is no reliable evidence for it, and it flies in the face of everything we know in science. I think that when we die we return to dust. But there is a sense we live on, in our influence, and in the genes we pass to our children.”
Here is a classic example of a man greatly esteemed by the world due to his great knowledge.
“Stephen Hawking: BA(Oxford), MA, PhD (Cambridge), CH CBE FRS FRSA, theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, for 30 years, Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, from 1979 to 2009. He also held the position of the Dennis Stanton Avery and Sally Tsui Wong-Avery Director of Research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge. He was a Professorial Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and a Distinguished Research Chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario. He was also the Founder of the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology (CTC) at Cambridge, and has led DAMTP’s General Relativity Group for over 30 years. Since 1997, he was the COSMOS National Cosmology Supercomputer’s Principal Investigator.” (st-albans.herts.sch.uk)

Eddington Medal (1975)
Maxwell Medal and Prize (1976)
Heineman Prize (1976)
Hughes Medal (1976)
Albert Einstein Award (1978)

Naylor Prize and Lectureship (1999)
Lilienfeld Prize (1999)
Albert Medal (1999)
Copley Medal (2006)
Presidential Medal of Freedom (2009)
Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2012)
BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award (2015)
Yet at the end of a full life, this brilliant man came to the conclusion that there is no God! - No Lawgiver!
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,” he writes. “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.” (theguardian.com)
Here is what God has to say about this attitude:
“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.” (Romans 1:18-23 Holy Bible, New Living Translation)
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
