I hope they make a sequel to The Theory of Everything to complete the story. That was such a good movie!
Well, I am thankful that God sent Stephen Hawking into the world. He inspired a lot of people, made physics and cosmology popular, and made significant contributions to his field. He was an interesting character.
As far as his belief in God, I haven't read everything he ever wrote, but I did read The Grand Design where he and Leonard Mlodinow explicitly addressed the question of God's existence. They never denied the existence of God in that book. All they said was that God's existence is unnecessary to explain the origin of the universe. That claim is more modest than the claim that God doesn't exist.

Could you say all that again please? Possibly in a manner that makes any sense at all?

If he just gave it a few seconds of thought he Might well have realized his life of 50+ years with a fatal affliction that killed 90+% of people inside 5 years was the work of God.
In any case we will never know

I realize he was intellectually superior and studied stuff most of us can never comprehend but other than some funny stuff on BBT I'm not sure he contributed anything meaningful to the average human life. I guess black holes and dark matter are interesting to some but they really don't affect life as we live it. Clue me in if I missed his significant impact?

His death is a loss for the scientific community for sure. I've read some of his work and enjoyed it for the fact that it was way over my head. It takes a serious mind to do what he did. The fact that he wrote books with his limited abilities, was Knighted and is to date one of the most recognizable names in science is simply amazing. As far as his belief regarding a benign deity.... well that's his prerogative. Not to stab and Christians but folks there are something like 5,000 recognized major "Gods" on the planet. Each sect believes that his or her "God" is the "One True God" and all others are "false Gods". Let it go...... Believe what you want but don't press it on others.
RIP Sir Hawking, you are an amazing individual.
