Stephen Hawking views about Islam and existence of God
Stephen Hawking was born in a Christian Family raised as a Christian but soon he realised that there is no existence of God and he became an atheist, that’s what you think about Stephen Hawking but the truth is a bit different!
Yes it is correct to some extent that Stephen William Hawking was an atheist but not his whole life. At his last age of life probably in his last interview He said that,
The existence of God can not be disproven by any theoretical method, but I don’t say that God does exist.
According to this interview he sounds like an agnostic more than an atheist.
His views about Islam
In his all time best seller book The brief history of time, in the first chapter of the book “OUR PICTURE OF THE UNIVERSE”,he claimed that all famous religion like
But Islam says something different about the age of universe. Quran the religious book of Islam says that Universe was created by God in 6 Periods. While the Earth has the 2 periods out of 6.
So according to Islam the age of the Earth is 1/3rd to the age of universe. Now, according to modern science the age of the Earth is slightly less than 1/3rd of the age of universe, which is 4.54 Billion years.
And if you search on google that how old the earth is according to Islam You will came to know that it will say 4.5 Billion years
An other discovery which would shock Stephen Hawking
In his book he also discuss about the discovery of American Scientist Edwin Hubble that universe is expanding. Hubble came to know that when he measured the ways from different stars and planets. He noticed that they are getting far from us. So, he concluded that universe is expanding.
But let me tell you something that Quran told this 1400 years ago. If Stephen Hawking could read this he will must be shocked.
So here is the reference of the verse from Quran. In verse 51:47 Quran shows that the universe is expanding.
In his book he was praising the discovery of Hubble that universe is expanding and stated it as a revolutionary discovery. But it was known by Muslims 1400 years ago.
His views about Islam
I think he does not read about Islam athentically thats why he has written wrong information about Islam.
In my opinion if he would read about Islam and research it. His views about Islam would probably change. But unfortunately he's not with us any more.
