The Grand Design
by Stephen Hawking
Realities To Ponder Upon (6/6/2015)
A humble attempt to react on Stephen Hawking's new book 'The Grand Design', where he asserts there is no need for an idea of God to explain what sparked creation. Furthermore he takes away everything from life which is worth living. He leaves us in a world where there is no need for righteousness, affection, consciousness, spiritual evolution and purpose of Life as he absolutely denies the existence of a spiritual being.

Hawking's ideas are based solely on his own mental speculation. The mind is so limited as it belongs to the subtle material dimension.. He is trying to understand the eternal, infinite and limitless spiritual dimension employing his temporary , limited and finite mind and senses. It is just not possible. Why can't he just be man enough to say that he doesn't know and do not have any concepts of these higher nature rather than babble that there is no such thing as a life force or a creator? If he is such an intelligent person as he poses to be, he would find it fitting to understand that any creation calls for a creator, any design calls for a designer. How can a 'something' be produced from nothingness?

Even in advanced scientific labs one can't find any scientist coming up with something that came from nothing. One has to utilize any of the five elements of gross matter namely earth, water, fire, air and ether to form a 'something'.- With all due respects, if Hawkings insists that it is possible then let him prove it scientifically in any of the modern science laboratories available. Spontaneous creation has never been proven scientifically beyond reasonable doubt. Any energy calls for an Energetic (Source of energy). It is basic Science 101. Modern Science is still clueless on the question of what Life is. They can't even produce a body of a one tiny mosquito in their labs out of nothing, they are likewise clueless on the nature of consciousness what to speak of Life?'

I personally do not recommend this book to any intelligent and sincere individual seeking the truth.
