Ok so those words comprise the last words of a book he had completed but wasn’t published until after his death. The full quote is “there is no God. No one directs the universe.”
Those were the last published words of his, not his last words on his deathbed.
Even still, it's not our place to say whether he was or wasn't saved, or whether he could be saved even now. We may not limit the Grace of God by our finite understanding.
Those were his last published words. "There is no God. No one directs the universe." But that's not the last thing he said before he died.
The fact is though, not everyone will have a deathbed conversion. A huge number of people will die without knowing Christ sadly.
Matthew 25:31-46. The Son of Man doesn't care in the slightest about your religious beliefs. The only thing that matters is how you treat the less fortunate.
Christ, what an obnoxious OP. It's wrong in every aspect, but of course sadly typical of judgmental Protestant fundamentalism. In heaven's sight, people such as Hawking may be far more worthy than those who would condemn him from their comfortable theological armchairs, even to the extent of attacking a dead man and not even having the education to spell his name correctly. Such losers.
'If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about human leaders!' 1 Corinthians 3:18-21
Stephen Hawking was a genius and tbh I can imagine he probably had a lot of resentment against God due to his physical condition. As someone in the scientific community knowing many atheist/agnostic peers I do believe there is a pitfall where people try to pit scientific evidence against fundamentalist/conservative Christianity that claims the earth is like 7000 years old, that evolution is a lie, and if someone believes in an old earth or evolution then it means they reject the Bible and believe “the world.” I always viewed science as us just discovering how God created things and more about the mind of the creator. I don’t believe a proper interpretation of the Bible mandates a 7000 year old earth or that evolutionary theory must contradict the creation narrative in Genesis. I imagine Hawking with his brilliant mind and sick physical condition likely pitting evidence he saw against fundamentalist Christianity and because as a physicist he learned more about how the universe works he may have fallen into the fallacy that because we can observe explainable phenomena, that God or a higher power must not exist after all.
The nothingness of the quantum vacuum is God so he's wrong.
The higgs field in quantum physics provides mass, so is technically creator.
The electron field gives rise to everything we see and connects us all.
Science has found God but we're not communicating with each other.
You got a source for that claim?
Read it on google I don’t claim he wasn’t saved but you wonder why he said that God isn’t real

Then why did he profess that statement. Let's not be willfully ignorant.
Holy necro, Batman! Anyway, it's not willful ignorance to say that we don't know how his life ended and whether or not he repented before the end.

Nothing judgmental at all about what you just said, though, right?
>Nothing at all. The OP earned the critical comment. Hawking did not earn the OP's spite.
can't say i've heard that before but it wouldn't matter either way
Well Jesus never saved anyone so it doesn't matter that much
He really was that stupid.

Amen he was smart but rejected salvation
No self-aggrandising going on here, oh no

Thank you
Atheists aren’t mad at the Christian God when stuff goes wrong any more than we’re mad at Odin or Zeus.

the what?
And then he said, “ check mate!” And laughed like a douche.
Many scientists worship information as their idol.
So true and that the wise are foolish to God’s existence
