There is no Heaven

This could be my first post in this Section.
Anyway ...
Stephen Hawking has just said ...
"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no Heaven or afterlife. That is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."
So, that's it then !
(Stephen Hawking was the person who, some years ago, had said that, if we could understand the particles and forces in the universe, then we would "know the mind of God".)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Heaven is not about Hawkiing...why listen to him? It is about what you believe. If people feel happier believing that something comes after, heaven or whatever, what is the harm? If it means that people lead a good and caring life instead of selfishly following their own agenda this can only be agood thing, in my opinion.
I suppose that those of us like me who are not religious regard our 'Heaven' and 'Hell' to exist here on Earth.
Stephen Hawking is a clever man and maybe like me also believes that there is intelligent life elsewhere in a far off distant Universe.
The Bible to me is a 'Fairy story' and needs to be taken at face value.

Quite right, mercia, it's always best to stick to the same opinion regardless of whether new evidence comes to light to make a sensible person reconsider.....
I agree with Hawking. Man created God; and it's just as well that there is NO afterlife because there would have been billions of disgruntled folks clamouring to get to the Reps office to complain that it "....isn't like it says in the brochure."
