Stephen Hawking on God, Science and the Origins of the Universe →

In philosophy and logic there is a principle know as Occam's Razor. It says that the simplest explanation is the most likely one. Apparently for one of the world's leading minds (or many), the simplest explanation is that there are infinite universes, many dimensions, and a whole host of mathematics to govern them. That however, is self-defeating. Where there are laws and behavior, there is something higher to govern them. This is Aquinas' fifth proof for the existence of God. And these constructs must themselves also have come from somewhere - Aquinas' second proof.

Don't get me wrong - his books are on my reading list. It's just sad to see someone so brilliant and educated ignore Truth.

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
