No sweat G.I., pretty soon payday.

"We shall attempt to answer it in this book," he wrote. "Unlike the answer given in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,' ours won't be simply '42.'" ---great quote!
I would give up a limb to sit and talk with that man, seriously. Every time he speaks, he says something interesting.

Your definition of logic from your standpoint, perhaps. Your understanding of the world is faith-based, and I doubt a conversation with Mr Hawking would convince you to release your hold on something you've held for your entire life, and hold all the more tightly now, for your own reasons.
Oh yeah, good to see you around.

That does not seem logical.Why does it have to be made by something intelligent or something you or i even have to be able to understand? Why can't things just "be" and still be wonderful and good?

Such as what Chad?Such as life, the universe and everything! 42!
You know, pretty much the subject at hand? Why did a conscientious intelligent being "have" to have to made it all? Couldn't it just "be" without the presence of thought? Does it really all exist just for us?
Heaven forbid god is not all omnipotent and is bound by the laws the made the uni/multiverse(s)and where god is a creation of that reality instead of vice versa? God might have rules he has to follow too.
The knowledge of everything we know has evolved yet religion remains mired in literal personal translations. Often twisted to suit ones own view of things. Most often supporting those of "authority" interestingly enough.
I find it so strange the bible makes no mention of the sphere we're on traveling through the heavens as we know it now to be. That the evidence so plain before our eyes that the world is round and is not the center and yet knowledge is forbidden lest it contradict god.
Why does something have to either be made from nothing or by an intelligent being? Couldn't it just be without a purpose?
