Hawking was a brilliant man before he was paralyzed. After he was paralyzed, and could only move a cheek muscle, he continued with the aid of limited electronics to speak, write, get around physically, and, most notably, do research and write books and theories on physics. He did more, almost totally paralyzed, than virtually any other human being.

So, he was not a God, but he was still remarkable.
That i fully agree with you on, Hawking was a very good scentist

God is well seen by mind and heart. Not by physical eyes. But by mind-vision and heart-vision (soul-vision). Spiritual vision.
Few realize this. Many great people can be recognized by their deeds, rather than their appearance. Virtually everyone has greatness within them.

So little greatness has come out of me, that I am convinced that I am very great (it all got stuck inside).

If Moses's countenance was changed on Mt Sinai because he saw God how can he be invisible


Moreover, how can we be made in God's image? There are men and women....are they both in God's image? Does God cross dress?

Perhaps we are in God's image in the sense that we think the way God does. Yet, humans sin. Does God sin? God said that we were not supposed to covet our neighbor's wives, yet God had sex with Mary (married to Joseph at the time) and had baby Jesus.

Perhaps we are in God's image in the sense that we are not perfect, nor is God? Perhaps instead of asking God for forgiveness, perhaps we should try to forgive God?

You have such a gentle and nurturing soul. Thank you for standing up for me. It would be a pleasure to go to heaven with you there. Of course, I'd drive every else nuts. Some might jump over the edge of heaven just to get away from me.
You are very welcome :)

You have strong opinions from time to time, but does not all of us have that?
To know someone take times and sometimes to understand someone take even longer time.

I believe heaven starts from within our own being, so if you can find your heaven from within you, that is a very good start ;)

When the bible says we are made in God's image it's saying he designed us after his likeness. That's not meant to be read as we were made exactly like God. Obviously we are not like God in the fact that we are highly flawed and he is not. Just as my children resemble me (after my likeness) but are their own people with traits that vary significantly from mine.

Yet, humans sin. Does God sin?
1. Bob sins, but does not sin every single hour. Sometimes passes 2 or even 3 hours without any sin. Even tiny-tine one.
2. Hence there is a probability, that some human or group of them, who has died prior to become damned sinners.
