"Why do I worry for Stephen Hawking? I suppose it is a fear that I have misinterpreted his moving forces, and that what I have characterized above as "unemotional scientific detachment" is in fact an almost passionate desire to live in an alternative universe without God. If that be true, to whatever degree, then his inner world will almost certainly be at cross purposes to his work in the outer." ~Don Pendleton, A Search for Meaning From the Surface of a Small Planet.
That quote written by my husband Don Pendleton was not written today in regards to Hawking now leaving God out of the picture, but is from Don's book written more than 18 years ago. Read an Excerpt from his chapter ALTERNATIVES TO GOD regarding physicist Stephen Hawking and other scientist that I just posted at my other blog, Drops of Ink Upon the Page.

I can't believe that was 18 years ago, and Mr. Hawking is still here to talk about it.
Nancy,
Hawking's book, A Brief History of Time was published in April 1988, and I gave a copy to Don for Christmas 1988.
Hawking was 46 at the time and not in very good health at all then.
So that was 22 years ago...
Bless him.....
