Thought this was interesting and appropriate for drivel season. Science
hasn't been able to offer even a plausable model for how life (organic)
arose from non-life (inorganic). Crick - the Nobel prize winning
geneticist, surrendering any hope of chemical reaction, offered
'Directed Panspermia' - in which other life in the galaxy saw the Earth
forming and used interstellar FedX to send the 'seeds of life' to the
Earth. Of course, this begs the question still, how did life begin.

But
this is a dramatic turnaround for Hawkings and offers potentially a new
branch of physics - a living physics.... The more we know...



The
English theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking,
surprised the scientific community last week when he announced during a
speech at the University of Cambridge that he believed that "some form
of intelligence" was actually behind the creation of the Universe.

Presenting
himself before students at the University of Cambridge, the
world-famous scientist declared that his years of research on the
creation of the cosmos have led him to isolate a strange scientific
factor which he says is in many ways contrary to the universal laws of
physics.

This strange phenomenon which he names the God factor,
would be at the origin of the creation process and would have played a
great role in determining the actual form of the Universe.

The
world renown scientist admits the near death experience of his brother,
who was clinically dead for 43 minutes after a heart attack last
october, radically changed his view on the nature of human consciousness
and the Universe as a whole

"My brother has always been a role
model for me. His rational, cunning and no non-sense mind has shaped my
personality into the person I am today and has led me into the study of
the fascinating world of physics. But since his accident last October,
he has come back a changed man" he recalled.

"He has told me of
the existence of a sentient being, of another world we mortals are
unaware of, he has told me of God" he told the crowd, visibly surprised
at such affirmations.

"Modern science relies on the perception
that consciousness lies within the human brain, but what my brother
experienced during his clinical death, I cannot explain. Does
consciousness lie outside of the human body? Is the human brain just a
receptor, capable of receiving the "consciousness wave" as AM/FM radios
receive radio waves? These are questions modern science has not yet
answered and could redefine our view of the Universe and modern physics
completely" he acknowledged.

"We were not expecting this" told
the Head of the Department of Astrophysics, John Bairns. "I am simply
baffled, I don't know what to say" he told local reporters

"In my
40 years as a physicist, the thought of the Universe being "a living
entity" never crossed my mind. I admit, Dr Hawking has given us much to
ponder about" admitted Professor John Bairns, politely.

These
declarations by the award-winning cosmologist have caused a great
commotion in the scientific community, some even publicly admitting that
"it was time for him to retire" and that "even great minds fall short
in time".

Stephen Hawking has since published a rebuttal to his
critics, insisting that "Intelligent design" doesn't in any way prove
that God exists, but only that a "God-like force" played a role in the
creation of our Universe, approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
