Stephen Hawking tells us now that there is no need for a Creater God. The believers say he’s missed the point.
Here’s my take on the subject.
The Wall
( by Roger Hollander)
Ok, infinity
Then what about infinity plus one?
Ok, a Creator
But who created the Creator
And who created the Creator of the Creator
Ad infinitum
Infinitum plus one?
Ok, time
What was there before the first day?
But a day is nothing more than how long it takes the earth to revolve on its own axis
It has no meaning anywhere else
Before the first second?
A second is a sixtieth of a minute, which is a sixtieth of an hour
Which is a twenty-fourth of how long it takes for the earth to revolve on its own axis
We are earthbound
Even as we go out into space, gravity sucked by the earth binds time and matter to it
The earth, one tiny dot in the universe
(What is there on the other side of the universe? Dumb question)
The Wall
We keep hitting the Wall
One grain of sand, what percentage is it of the entire universe’s matter?
(Our most powerful computer can bust its guts on that one)
Awesome
Awe-some
Some awe
It’s one big Mystery
Protected by an insurmountable Wall
(What if I climbed over the Wall? Another dumb question)
You cannot know
Some say they know
What do they know?
What do they know?
I don’t know
It’s a Mystery
Protected by an insurmountable Wall
(Look up the definition of insurmountable, dumbbell)
It’s a Mystery
Let it be
Live with it
(Die with it)
