Thiests: How could you argue with one of the most intelligent people on the planet?

i consider a person with street smarts more intelligent than a person who has been in school all of his life
 
What authority? Is this person as intelligent as the infinite and eternal God? Does he have billions of years of experience under his belt? Does he have all the knowledge in the entire universe to fall back on when making statements?

I don't know who you're talk about here, but it's really sad that you would trust the words of a mere finite, mortal, fallible human being over the infinite wisdom of God!

But that's okay - you worship this person. He (or she?) won't be able to rescue you from God's Judgment when you stand before Him, but that's your prerogative!
 
He is only on this planet because God made the planet for humans. He is only intelligent because you are comparing him to yourself. Get at least a tid bit of a clue please.
 
The fact that someone is very knowledgeable on physics doesn't allow them to speak on a matter of faith. Think about the actual evidence that Stephen Hawking gives, that the laws of physics require the Universe to come into being. If you believe in God, then wouldn't it make sense to assume that He would create the laws of physics to work in that way for that purpose?
 
The best way to prove God exists is by authenicity. If you are God, then you exist outside the time domain we live in because you are not restricted to time. Therefor, being not restricted to time,
you know the past, present and the future all at once. If man wrote the bible, he would fail in prophecy greatly because no one knows the future but God.

Daniel 9:25 Prophecy:

"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to buld Jersualem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."

Translation: In 173,880 days after the commandment to build the temple again, the Messiah will come.

The commandment to build the temple was done by Neiamiah on March 14th 445 BC.

On april 6th, 32 AD, (173,880 days later), Jesus Christ rode a donkey into the city of Jersualem, proclaiming to be the Messiah and King of the Jews.

The margin for error of this Prophecy is ZERO.
 
Hawkins does not know what my experiences are, therefore he does not know everything that I know, I can agree or disagree with him easily..
 
"Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders."
Buddha.

I do not disagree. Although just because they are well known does not make it true.
 
The most intelligent way to agree or comment on this question is to note that Hawkins believed in God before he didn't! It wouldn't be logical to agree with his theory now because he interprets differently. The main point is: There is no proof of Hawkins theory or God, that's why we have hope and faith:)
 
Being a world famous physicist does not make what he says the last word in theology. If you want I can name you at least three eminent physicists who would disagree with him:

Freeman Dyson, John Polkinghorne (FRS), Antony Hewish (FRS and Nobel Laureate)

Oh, and aren't you indulging in the argument from authority? Which, as we all know, atheists never do.
 
Easy.

Intelligence is not wisdom but wisdom is most certainly intelligence.

Praise and worship who You must but "as for me and my house ; we shall serve the Lord."
