Oh noes! A famous scientist is an atheist!

Seriously, is it still the 18th century? Why is this still considered newsworthy?

Vorpy · 2011-05-16 19:03:57

Because MSNBC is bored and needs to pander to the majority of their viewer's sensibilities?

I thought he was a deist. That is common knowledge.

Wait, there were people who didn't know Stephen Hawking wasn't religious?

Vorpy · 2011-05-16 19:31:03

Not everybody looks deeply into everything. I rarely thought about Stephen Hawking.

I didn't know.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-16 19:32:37

Well, I guess it just seemed fairly obvious.

Why are the personal beliefs of scientist even news worthy? Their names are barely news worthy, why would their personal lives be?

Because it's not "a scientist", it's Stephen Hawking, a.k.a. the one scientist the media pay attention to.

They don't even pay attention to Bill Nye anymore.

Bill Nye vs. Mr Rogers: Battle for the PBS.

That's the thing Deboss, Stephen Hawking's name is newsworthy.

Deboss · 2011-05-20 21:58:17

Last time I checked, his discoveries are news worthy, he isn't.
