halfway through the grand design, steven hawking may be the smartest intellect on two wheels but i cannot understand how he has not figured out that behind the design there's a designer. maybe he's in denial for his book is almost an elegant treatise on spiritual truths, without the magick. maybe one day he will just make an announcement, 'science is the religion for skeptics, and now it reveals that for this beautiful design we exist in, there must be a designer.'
