Stephan Hawking says God wasn't involved in creating the universe; it was physics. Well, Steve, if you know that much about the universe, then try getting out of your wheel chair!

And the non-sequitur of the year award goes to you AR-15s because Jesus BENGHAZI!!
Fixed that for you.
And if you know so much about god, why doesn't he cure someone with ALS? Or, for that matter, why does ALS exist in the first place?
Hang on... I think I initially interpreted this quote wrong. Is he saying that Hawking should be capable of getting out of his wheelchair if God did not create the universe (in which case the quote would be a non-sequitur, as I said), or is he threatening to hurt Hawking if he tries to get out of his wheelchair?
Well if platypodes didn't have bills, marshmallows wouldn't taste like little pillow clouds of sweetness, would they?
...and his name is Stephen Hawking, you jackass.

Also, stop hatin'.
Well, Karajou, if you know that much about the universe, then try explaining the difference between biology and cosmology.
Well, Karajou, if you know so much about god why don't you pray to not be so fucking stupid.
Or maybe you already did, and it just didn't work.
Yes, because knowledge of cosmology is well known to cure people of crippling diseases and repair all damage no matter how severe. Why, last time I fell and broke my leg I read up on Jupiter. Fixed it right up for me.
It's even better later when he says, "You see, if Hawking does indeed know how the universe was formed; if it was
physics and not God that did it, then all he has to do is to get out of his
chair and walk, because he would also know the cure for his own body.
But he cannot do that at all. And neither does he know how the universe was
created. "
Wow. So much Christian love.
If he did have faith in Jesus, would you be telling him he should just stand up? Would you tell him he just doesn't believe "enough," so that's why he can't walk? Or do you just want to belittle someone intelligent simply because they don't pander to your religion?

In the beginning, there was Prof. Stephen Hawking:

'Look up at the stars, and not down at your feet ... be curious'
Where there were representations of the Big Bang, and the Higgs-Boson; also - via the 'Pixel' displays in the audience area, making the crowd become one big display screen - the entire Olympic Stadium became the Large Hadron Collider.
U jelly, Karajou?
See that fat irritating twat sucked into that black hole created by Prof. Stephen Hawking, Karajou?:

That's you , that is. [/'History Today '] >:D
Reminds me of Tobias Fünke.
"And second-of-ly, I know you're the big marriage expert - oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your wife is dead!"

At least Tobias recognizes how douchey that was.
Knowing how the universe works = healing yourself miraculously?
So why can't you make yourself smarter, Karajou?

So if someone knows A he must also know B? And if he doesn’t know B (even if it something that no one can know) this automatically means he cannot know A, either.
Well, I don’t know the exact number of Helium atoms in the universe, that has to mean that I also cannot know where I live. How will I ever find home again!?
This has to be one of the stupidest things I ever read
Gratulations, Karajou!
If you know that much about God, then fly up to heaven, raise the dead, make a burning bush talk, etc., a$$hat.
Well, Karajou, if you know that much about the universe...
Do you walk to school, or carry your lunch?
How much butter will fit in a firkin?
If God made man in his own image, and if god is everywhere, why do we have feet?
Karajou. It is precisely because he DOES know about the universe, that he knows he CANT get up out of his wheelchair.
In a universe where a magic sky fairy named God was involved in creatig the universe, ALS would be cured by magic and wishing.
ironically this was too much for even conservapedia
when ED POOR tells you that's low, there is something wrong
@Kuno
if he knows how the universe works, then he'd know how his body worked. actually, if he didn't know how his body worked, he wouldn't know how the universe works, because his body is just one of the parts of the universe.
that's ignoring two things, obviously. first, there may be no cure possible. but also, he may know how the universe works at a level of detail sufficient to say that there's no utility for a creator god in explaining the origin of the universe, but not at a level of detail sufficient to know how to make his shit work right.
Okay, two things wrong with this quote:
1) Non-sequitur
2) Making fun of a guy for a crippling illness that confines him to a wheelchair. That is just straight-up scummy.
"Well, Steve, if you know that much about the universe, then try getting out of your wheel chair!"
I'm sorry. I don't see how the two connect. To me, that's like saying "Well, Steve, if your favourite number is 4, then eat spaghetti and meatballs for dinner!". It makes about as much sense.
This is how this nutjob explains his comment.
"I had that one question about Hawking for years, but never put it in print.
The point about atheists of any kind knowing that God doesn't exist was
first read in Josh McDowell's book "Answers to Tough Questions", and he said
that if an atheist is positive that God doesn't exist, then he would have to
know the secrets of the entire universe - in effect, making him to be God.
So, when Hawking's book "A Brief History Of Time" came out, it was Hawking
claiming he knew how the universe formed, etc etc.
You see, if Hawking does indeed know how the universe was formed; if it was
physics and not God that did it, then all he has to do is to get out of his
chair and walk, because he would also know the cure for his own body.
But he cannot do that at all. And neither does he know how the universe was
created."
Unreal!
He can't, because of physics. Your team is the one that pretends magic is real.
P.S> Modern science is what has kept him alive this long, if you fools were the doctors you'd still be leeching his humors out
An oldie but goodie.

What the fuck kind of crack is this guy smoking?
"Non-sequitur" doesn't even begin to cover just how dumb Karajou's comment is. What in the bloody hell does one thing - that the universe could emerge without God - have to do with whether or not Hawking can simply wish away ALS?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
