Kirk Cameron Called Ignorant Stephen Hawking by Saying That “Heaven Does Not Exist”

A statement that has angered many religious famous, including actor Kirk Cameron.

The former teen idol and star of the series Growing Pains Hawking said this week he could not make such statements if not proved. Cameron, a fervent advocate of creationism, has spent the last several years of his life lecturing at colleges and universities advocate religious positions far removed from science (in his day, divided manipulated versions of the Origin of Species Darwin).

“Professor Hawking is advertised as ‘the genius of Great Britain’ and believes he has created out of nothing, why should we believe if you can not provide evidence of that?” Said recently in a few words picked up by media Americans like TMZ.

Cameron compared the “ignorance” of Hawking, in his words, John Lennon: “Hawking is sure the sky does not exist, John Lennon (referring to lyrics like the song Imagine) wanted to pretend did not exist paradise. “

The British scientist made such statements to the Guardian, but is not the first time made public his rejection of religious beliefs. On this occasion, tried to explain that there is nothing after the time when the brain stops working. “I consider the brain as a computer will stop working when components fail. There is no heaven or life after death for computers stop working, this is a fairy tale of people who are afraid of the dark” said the former professor of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge.
