Time and Space

Physicist Stephen Hawking has long been regarded as one of the most intelligent people in the world, if not the most brilliant figure in science today, but even genius has flaws. Only the Creator, the Uncaused First Cause knows the genesis of the universe, and we are so infinitesimal in His sight that we will never begin to apprehend Him, His scope, His breadth, His love to have allowed us to even ponder the imponderable. Hawking's attempt to rationalize our beginnings without God is like a single ant constructing a moon rocket. Ain't gonna happen. So when a scientist embittered by his own disability lashes out at what he says is not there, we may see it as a prayer of a different sort, an act of defiance against the very parent who made it possible for the rebel to conceive of anything.
