Welcome to Jesusland Part 19 – Stephen Hawking is an Idiot?

Response to: “Stephen Hawking is an Idiot” — TheResident www.youtube.com Well it was time to respond to a female user, after 18 parts in the Welcome to Jesusland series. After making this video, I have to say that I do not think TheResident (or Lori Harfenist) is stupid or an ignorant; indeed, she comes across as being well informed on politics. However, she seems to be completely ignorant when it comes to religion and science, especially when she has to respond to a well-known scientist’s simple opinion on the afterlife. So Stephen Hawking is an idiot? Yeah, the man who only enhanced our knowledge of black holes and helped millions of people get interested in science sure has done some IDIOTIC things (sarcasm, of course). Nevertheless, this is like if I were to call Charles Darwin an idiot because of his discoveries on evolution, or Noam Chomsky on his work in linguistics. You cannot simply call an intellectual an idiot because it only makes you look worse.
