Stephen Hawking is an idiot
Stephen Hawking recently suggested that aliens might be a threat to us, because he says that advanced life forms may be nomads looking to conquer and colonize other planets. Well I've got news for Stephen Hawking, they've been with us since the beginning of our civilization. Our ancestors were extraterrestrials. Now I know a lot of people don't really know the truth about our origins but even if Stephen Hawking didn't know, then does that mean that he doesn't believe in ufos; does he think that the thousands of ufo's that people have reported seeing are just not real? Because if he thinks that they are real, then that would mean that the extraterrestrials are not malevolent because if they were they would've destroyed us and taken over our planet a long time ago.
I liked this article: http://news.ca.msn.com/canada/cp-article.aspx?cp-documentid=24110905
It talks about Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian defence minister, who not only believes that aliens have visited Earth but also that they have contributed greatly to human technological advances. It says that Paul Hellyer doesn't understand why Stephen Hawking would make such a statement. This is a former defence minister saying this.
People will have opposing views regarding on what Stephen Hawking said. Aside from that, he also claims that comprehending the whole world does not require God. There is a constant debate between science and religion the Grand Design discus. Hawking believes that gravity is what made it so the whole world could be created. He feels no God might be a part of this. Anyone opposed to Hawking's ideas will say that comprehending God’s role within the world does not come through scientific research.
