Stephen Hawking starts speaking - following is text of the audio.

There is nothing bigger than the universe.

The questions I would like to talk about are:

1. Where did we come from?

2. How did the universe come into being?

3. Are we alone in the universe?

4. Is there alien life out there?

5. What is the future of the human race?

Up unto the 1920's everyone thought that the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time, then it was discovered that the universe was expanding; distant galaxies were moving away from us. This ment that they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back we find they must have evolved on top of each other about fifteen billion years ago, this was the big bang the beginning of the universe.

But was there anything before the big bang? If not, what created the universe? How did the universe emerge from the big bang the way it did? We used to think that the theory of the universe could be divided into two parts. First there were the laws like Maxwell’s equations, and general relativity, that determined the evolution of the universe. Giving it stayed over all space at the same time.

And second, there was the question of the initial state of the universe. We have made good progress on the first part, but now have the knowledge of the laws of evolution, to know but the most extreme conditions; but until recently, we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe. However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions, depends on time and space being separate and distinct. Under extreme conditions general relativity and quantum theory allow time to behave like another dimension of space. This removes the condition between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state.

The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing; moreover, we can calculate the possibility that the universe is created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement [with] observation by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe. We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maby we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existance.

I now turn to the second big question. Are we alone or is there other life in the universe? We believe [life] arose spontaneously on the earth, so it must be possible for life to appear on other, suitable planets, of which there seems to be a large number in the galaxy. But we don’t know how life first appears. First, we have two pieces of observational evidence on the probability of life appearing.

The first is, we have fossils from 3.5 billion years ago. The earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, and was probable to hot for the first half billion years. So, life appeared on earth within half a billion years. That being possible, which is short compared to the ten billion year lifetime of the planets of earth type, this suggest, that the probability of life is recently high. If it were very low, one would have suspected it would take most of the ten billion years available.

On the other hand, we don’t seem to have been visited by aliens. I am discounting reports of UFO’s. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdoes? If there was a government conspiracy to suppress a report and keep for itself, the scientific knowledge the aliens bring, it seems to be a singular ineffective policy, so far; furthermore, there is quite an extensive search by the SETI project. We have not heard any television ? Shows. This probably indicates that there are no alien civilizations at our stage of development, within the radius of a few hundred light years. Issuing an insurance policy against abductions by aliens seems a pretty safe bet.

This brings me to the last big question. The future of the human race. If, we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, we should make sure we survive and continue. But, we are entering, an increasingly dangerous, period of our history.

Our population and our uses of the finite resources of planet earth, are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But, our genetic code carries a selfish and aggressive instinct, that will survive the advantage, and the past. It will be difficult to save the earth In the next hundred years, let alone, the next thousand or million.

Our only chance of long term survival is not to remain inward looking on planet earth, but to spread out into space. The answer to these big questions show that we have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But, if we want to continue beyond the next one-hundred years, our future is in space. That is why I am in favor of man, or should I say person, space flight.

All my life, I have sought to understand the universe and find answers to these questions. I have been very lucky that my disability has not been a serious handicap indeed. it has probably  given more time than most people, to pursue the quest for knowledge. The ultimate goal is the complete theory of the universe. And we are making good progress.

Thank you for listening.

MY RESPONSE STARTS HERE　

The following word definition are taken from the Webster Dictionary. Knowing the meaning of these words is critical to understanding, the information presented by Stephen Hawking; and my response, and analysis of what he said.

Theoretical - 1. Of, pertaining to, or consisting in theory; not practical. 2. Existing only in theory; hypothetical. 3. Given to, forming, or dealing with theories, speculative.

Theory - 1. A coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Darwin’s theory of evolution. 2. A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural. 3. A body of mathematical principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject; number theory. 4. The branch of science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice. Synonym - Theory, Hypothesis are used in no technical context to mean an untested idea or opinion. An Hypothesis is a conjecture put forth as a possible explanation of phenomena or relations, which serves as a basis of argument or experimentation to reach the truth.

Conjecture - 1. The formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof. 2. An opinion or theory so formed or expressed; speculation; surmise.

Physicist - A scientist who specializes in physics.

Physics - The science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force.

Make no mistake about it, Stephen Hawking, as do many others, who rejecting the answers to questions about creation that are found in the word of God, will spend their lives glorying in explanations of falsehood, and in the pursuits of intellectual folly. Man can take the things that God created and invent, manufacture, and modify. But man cannot create. 

It is astonishing to me, that someone noted for being so brilliant, could not give a reasonable answer, to any of the five question that he raised in his presentation. Most children, above the age of eight could be taught in one hour, from the bible, the answer to each of the five questions he raised:

1. Where did we come from?

2. How did the universe come into being?

3. Are we alone in the universe?

4. Is there alien life out there?

5. What is the future of the human race?

Why would he spend his whole live in pursuit of answers to questions, that have been known from the first week of creation? The truth of creation has been passed down through successive generations; which simply states in few words, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1) And not only that, but it was verified a little over 4004 years later by chosen men, taught by Jesus Christ, Emmanuel (God with us). Actually from creation to the flood was aprox 7,169 years,I have not finished the calculation of the number of years from the flood until the birth of Jesus Christ. The 4,004 year figure that is usually  given as the amount of time from creation to Jesus is  way off.

Matt. 1:23. Jesus was with God as the eternal word; and as the word was God. (John 1: 1-3), “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. ‘The same was in the beginning with God. ‘All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” And Again, "God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:12).

The answer is not complicated to those who have a mind that has not been corrupted by false science, or scientist who have been   compromised by the acceptance fortune, fame, and prestige.

We have answered to questions 1 & 2 already:

1. Where did we come from? God created us and everything else.

2. How did the universe come into being? God created it.

Question 3 & 4 are the same question. If we are not alone in the universe; then there is alien life out there. Not only is there alien life out there, there is alien life here on earth. For brevity, I will only give a few examples.

An alien would be a living being from someplace other than planet earth. The first answer is found in the old testament of the bible in Geneses chapter six. Here we read about creatures called the “…sons of God…” (nephilim - fallen ones, fellers) coming to earth and marrying the daughters of men, and producing children of the women. These children made a name for themselves. Gen. 6: 1-4 .

The sons of God left their dwelling place, someplace in the heavens, and came to live on earth and married daughters of men. These sons of God were not from the earth, they lived someplace in the heavens.

In the book of Job, chapters one and two, there is another account of these creatures, presenting themselves to the LORD. Satan came from earth, and was there, before the LORD among the sons of God, Job 1:6-7 “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. ‘And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” And in (Job 2:1-2 ) “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. ‘And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

The apostle James, the brother of Jesus wrote, “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 6. The angles that did not stay in their assigned abode, but left their dwelling place, are bound in everlasting chains, under darkness for the judgment. There are other worlds. "God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:12).

There are many accounts of humans being visited by beings from places, other than earth; they are found in both the O.T. and the N.T.. Angels are sent to earth on mission from God. Christians are warned, that we should, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” (Heb. 13:2). I know that there are many that will not believe that angels are still being sent, by God, on missions to earth in our time.

Christians should know and understand, that when Satan was cast out of heaven, into the earth, that one-third of the angelic beings were cast into the earth with him. Jesus Christ revealed to John, that the Devil would deceive the whole world. He is taking control of the governments of the word now, and forming his world government. The proof that the servants of the Devil has moved his agents into high places of authority, is presently before us. Lord Jesus permitting, I will deal with this subject in more detail at a later time. Let me assure you, that the idea that angles use wing to fly, is not biblical; angels don’t have wings.

Question 3 & 4 has now been answered:

3. Are we alone in the universe? No, we are not alone in the  universe, there are angels and demons.

4. Is there Alien Live out there? Yes, there are created being living out there (other worlds), Angels for sure.

5. What is the future of the human race? Death, judgment, heaven or hell.

Now that all of the five questions have been answered from God‘s word; an analysis of the presentation of Steven Hawkins, is in order. First of all, understand that his presentation is anti God. What Stephen Hawking said is designed to weaken, and perhaps over throw the faith of, some of those, who name the name of Christ.
