I'm stunning just how good he explain everything in a sentence.

@AestivatingsoSTFU

This Comment section is kinda proof of his statement that " People will always cling to religion because it provides comfort ".

@countdrago1544

God just turned a stone that you didnt want exposed.

"I believe the more I study science, the more I believe in god."

@alisa3674

Science explains. Religion comforts. The sentence science explains how and religion why is wrong because there is no one religion. Science touches us all the same way. Religions only touch their own followers. No religion can be an explanation.

@Exploxs

I dont know why people are hating on this legend. He was a brilliant mind, locked in a failing body. People always say he got in this condition because he '' mocked'' god. First of all, he never mocked god. He doesnt believe in it. How is that even mocking? People are so dumb. And there are millions of atheists. They dont have this disease. I got to know about this legend 2 days ago. I became very interested in his past. Now im even watching all the movies about him. Rest in peace, king.

@TheEagleChristian

Science literally is incapable of answering "Why" it can only answer "How"

@bakugo_9487

People in comment section talking about how deeper science connects to God as if they know better science than Hawkins😂. I completely agree with him on this topic about how people cling to relegion because they don't know or believe science.

Its not the eyes that are blind is the heart

@smileygimbel9445

Religion is so much more than that. We are a social creature with an instinctual purpose to breed. Make more copies of us, as All living creatures do. We can get philosophical as to why that is - that all living creatures exist to breed and make more copies of themselves - what’s the purpose?
Religion homogenizes the social structures of cultures towards their agreed collective goal, using collective moral agreements to folkways and mores and allowing this culture to move ahead, living their lives breeding and making more copies of them selves.

It gives comfort not to ask any further questions

@jayritz5876

I think science will eventually figure out how time and life began and i hope we will learn these facts and respect those that gave it to us.

@Jaafar-leo

Relegions goes hand in hand with science

@Lorstewie

He said, because it gives comfort the only way something can give comfort is if a directly made them feel comfortable, so if God was not real, they wouldn’t be any way that religion can make anyone feel comfort. That’s just like me saying, my bed n pillows gives me comfort the only way I know that my bed gives me comfort is because I sleep in it and I enjoy it. And feel the comfort that it gives.

@antropatico

Religion persists because it’s the only way we can get an answer to “why?”. Science can answer “what?” And “how?”. But not “why?”. Because that is a human question. And science describes the world while religion is about how we work.

@JoshWestbrook

This comment section is just further proving Hawking’s point. He was way ahead of his time.

@Dilaraa._

God made science

@superegg1909

People are saying that religion answers “why” and science only answers “how.”

Everything has an equal to an opposite reaction, the reason why is the cause of the effect.

@Crysisplaya

They ones who say “science is the only answer” are the same ones to say “we know nothing”
