I find the belief in God to be something very rational, but I can't say the same about the belief in Jesus. At all.
If belief in God is rational, you must concede that belief in Jesus is at least plausible.

It's possible that Jesus did exist, people claim they saw and even touch him. But what does make you think that God exists?

God is a logical necessity.
What the rules of this logic? I bet the law of excluded middle is not included in the list, am I right?

A man was created in the image and likeness of God. A man has sense of humor. I'm a man. Being omnipotent God is able to create something that violates the law of excluded middle. If I was God I would include this "something" into Bible for lulz or as a hint that I exist.

God will set you free, but not sure about that site.
Christianity isn't what will save you, a relationship and love with God will

The tremendous depth of God's sense of humor gives Him extremely much enjoyment when he reads what you have written here. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

This is the point. Now you understand what others feel reading Bible.

Time to get as much of that Bible into your head as you can, so God has something to work with there to save you with... since you are not smart enough to save yourself with it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

This is the paper by Hawking that those two 'news' pieces are based on: http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.5761It's called "Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes".

When you look at the weather forecast, especially the 10-day forecast, it changes about 4 times a day, except for areas that everybody knows what is going to happen anyway, because it is so regular. That's approximately the same kind of predicting we can get for black holes. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

wow I been gone from this topic, Just to give you food for thought, if everything is to be part of a food chain, Then what part of the food chain we are in? Who eats us? Think of that, We an eat any animale we wanted to or insect. I mean, yes we can be eaten by animals cause it has happened. But since god gave us the power of free will and the power to think, he made us in his own image. Im sure he meant brain power as well. what can eat us in the food chain like we are part of it?

Plants welcome being eaten by animals or people. They become part of a greater life that way. If you look throughout the Gospels of the New Testament in Bible, you will find that Jesus often talks about people like they are being harvested by God via the angels. Those of us who are not considered weeds, are moving into a greater form of living... living "with" God. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm guessing you don't wear shorts when the forecast says it will be below freezing. It's nice to see you acknowledging (albeit indirectly) that your interpretation of what Hawking said was dubious. It's about as close as I've ever seen you acknowledge your misunderstandings. Before, you were just going to go with "there are no black holes," and here you are confirming that you believe they exist.
