I'm disturbed. I was checking the CNN website for the latest news, when I spotted an article front-and-center on the home page. The title? "Stephen Hawking: Gog didn't create universe". Out of morbid curiosity, I read the spread.
I don't know how one of the most brilliant human beings on the planet can miss the forest for the trees.
If, just if he were right, it would seriously alter my outlook on life, the lives of our family and whether or not morals would even be required. If God didn't exist, nor had he planted a conscience deep inside each of us, I have no doubt that we'd be even more deeply trapped by sin. If there was really no God, I'd have to side with others in the notion that belief in God (or any higher power) was lunacy. Maybe this is what Paul meant:
1 Corinthians 1:18-25 (English Standard Version)
18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Good Night
