Stephen Hawking's Gamble That There Is No Heaven

"Heaven Is a Fairy Story" — Stephen Hawking's Declaration

The limits of scientism and the unexplained origin of consciousness
"There is no afterlife. Heaven is a fairy story. The brain is a computer." Hawking believed science would someday solve death, the afterlife and even the beginning of the universe. But the actual state of science is different. Science can't even explain where consciousness comes from. The same goes for the starting point of the universe, the moment of the Big Bang. Singularities, dark matter, dark energy… only unsolved mysteries remain.

Scientific Belief, or Personal Conviction?

Fear of death and the projection of personal belief
Hawking said he wasn't afraid of death, yet he kept repeating "heaven is a fairy story." Isn't that actually a sign that he feared death himself? In the end, Hawking's view isn't a law of nature — it's the personal gamble of a man who bet everything on science.

The Bible says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
