Anyone see Stephen Hawking on CNN? I caught the last 1/2 hour. I think he is a remarkable human being, though I don't entirely agree with everything he says. Larry asked him if he could have the answer to only one question, what it would be. It would be whether or not they were "barking up the right tree" re: the grand unified theory [GUT]. I admire him for having enough intellectual humility to admit he [they?] could be wrong. I can tell you they are wrong. For if there is a GUT, it would represent an interface between the material world and God; there is no material means of approaching God. This was clearly demonstrated with the Tower of Bable. God does not want us to approach Him materially; if He did, you would find Him sitting on a recliner in the TV room. He purposely made it impossible; He desires to commune with us on a spiritual basis through Jesus Christ. As a Christian, it is comical [tragic really] to observe the materialists attempt to reduce the work of God to mere physical science. Someone said, "the cosmologists climbed the mountain of the 'Big Bang' and found a band of theologeons waiting on them"; it is not coincidental that it is infinetly easier to approach God through Jesus than science.
