New Stephen Hawking book denies God

"A mind that engages in serious scientific exploration about life and the origins of should be held in a higher regard than those who provide answers to the same questions based on a book from Iron and Bronze Ages. Sitting in a cave and contemplating the cosmos will not bring one to a deeper understanding of creation. Certainly, these spiritual and mystic endeavors should not be given the intellectual credit as those of someone like Stephen Hawking."
