it's a shame that no where in this collection of commentaries does anyone give credit to the man and his brilliant accomplishments

Great book, though a little over my head the first time I read it.

Incredible that he achieved so much especially whilst suffering ALS / MND. Such a dreadful disease

we are conditioned to believe that there is a man in the clouds who watches over everything we do. and yet the early settlers laughed at native Americans and their legends.

Science is equal to religion. Neither are based on conclusive proof.

RarStowRaggy8981, God is not finite. He is not limited to one universe. In fact he has no limits as we know them. I am a miracle. I should not have lived. Period. Far too many people do not even know what true faith is. I didn't use to until I lived through an unliveable nightmare. When I lived through it, I no longer had even a second's doubt that God exists. My life was turned upside down. Since then, I have had a relationship with the Trinity. The security of that gives me security when I had none. I no longer need to rely on my intellect to explain or excuse a miracle when it happens. I have a new life, and it's Only a gift from God.

Player #44058464, Just as the theory of evolution does not preclude a Creator. It just says he was organized and detail-oriented, and maybe didn't like magic.

Prometheus, Stephen Hawking was extraordinary. I just cannot find words in foreign language (English) to express my admiration

Angee, it is not your place to tell people what to believe. Religious beliefs vary. As a Christian myself I do not believe I am superior to people of different faiths. You should never push your own beliefs.

The very interesting, and highly intelligent man also had a good sense of humor! He did a couple of little parts in The Big Bang show ,

BBVISION66, The Big Bang Theory does not exclude the possibility that the Universe was created by a supreme being, it simple offers a possible explanation of how it could have happened.

MayhemsMomma415, recommend an even briefer history of time. Same theory, but toned down for us laymen. Good introduction to the man and his genius...

Player #24210413, God was not created. He calls Himself "I am". And Heaven is where God is. And Jesus is how to get there. According to the Bible. Any more questions?

ezasjel, Cozzy 25, Yes, I agree. I hope Mr Hawking made it into heaven. I know he was a non believer, but I admire him. He refused to be brought down by a horrible disability. 😎

Awesome book, but I had to read it twice to absorb it. Also, when reading it, I couldn't help but think that Hawking had superpowers.

JimmyLovesQL, I was sad they didn't do an episode about him after he died, he was such an idol to Sheldon. And then the show ended.
