“Maybe Hawking should leave God alone,” claims Marcelo Gleiser.<\/p>\n
Poor god. Getting beat up by a guy in a wheel chair.<\/p>\n
If I was Hawking, and Gleisser was in the vicinity, I’d double check my battery pack.<\/p>\n Or, is Gleisser really saying what I think he is saying? Have a look and report back if you disagree. On his web site, he does make this statement: “My approach is conciliatory, showing that there need not be a conflict between secularization and spirituality: the poison here is dogmatism, both from the religious and the scientific camps. *<\/a>”<\/p>\n
\nGleisser essentially argues<\/a> that Hawking can’t make the claims he makes about the irrelevance of god in an origin physics. Yet, Gleisser freely implies the possibility of god-like entities in discussing on how it all started. So, the way it works is like this: If you agree with Gleisser, you can use the same kinds of arguments he uses. If you disagree with Gleisser, you should, well, shut up and stuff.<\/p>\n
