Stephen W. Hawking
“I use the word “God” in an impersonal sense, like Einstein did, for the laws of nature, so knowing the mind of God is knowing the laws of nature. My prediction is that we will know the mind of God by the end of this century.
The one remaining area that religion can now lay claim to is the origin of the universe, but even here science is making progress and should soon provide a definitive answer to how the universe began. I published a book that asked if God created the universe, and that caused something of a stir. People got upset that a scientist should have anything to say on the matter of religion. I have no desire to tell anyone what to believe, but for me asking if God exists is a valid question for science. After all, it is hard to think of a more important, or fundamental, mystery than what, or who, created and controls the universe.
I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. The basic assumption of science is scientific determinism. The laws of science determine the evolution of the universe, given its state at one time. These laws may, or may not, have been decreed by God, but he cannot intervene to break the laws, or they would not be laws. That leaves God with the freedom to choose the initial state of the universe, but even here it seems there may be laws. So God would have no freedom at all.”

“And to kill one’s self is to violate the law because it deprives that self of working out the needs of its life.”

“For everything in life, there’s a counterpart in afterlife. This includes the most beautiful as well as the ugliest of phenomena.”

“Happiness should not be a struggle nor a privilege , because feelings are priceless. So we cant buy how we feel.

You can be happy anytime you want. Stop making money an excuse of why you are not happy.

Stop making excuses of why you are not happy, but find reasons why you should be happy”
De philosopher DJ Kyos, The Theory of 46 Be's

Stephen W. Hawking
“The problem is, most people believe that real science is too difficult and complicated for them to understand. But I don’t think this is the case. To do research on the fundamental laws that govern the universe would require a commitment of time that most people don’t have; the world would soon grind to a halt if we all tried to do theoretical physics. But most people can understand and appreciate the basic ideas if they are presented in a clear way without equations, which I believe is possible and which is something I have enjoyed trying to do throughout my life.”
Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the Big Questions
