Do words like ''unfortunately'' and ''foolish'' really belong here? I understand that this encyclopedia is written from a Christian, Conservative, Young Earth Creationist point of view and I respect that, but there are subtler and gentler ways of promoting these beliefs. There is no need to open walnuts with a sledgehammer, when a nutcracker will do. Personally, I'd remove at least these two words. --[[User:LeonardO|Leo-from-UK]] 13:48, 4 July 2011 (EDT)

::What I would write is ''Stephen Hawking is an Atheist, and has made the comment that there is no place for a creator, claiming that all of the universe is self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself.''
::Saying that he is an Atheist already contains in himself the fact that he "has yet to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior", as every user here will be familiar with what Atheism is. Words like ''unfortunately'' and ''foolish'' should, in my opinion, be removed. <br/>
Last but not least, I'd change "God's Creation" to "Universe", but, I admit, this is just being pedantic: Hawkins is an Atheist, so he can have made no claims about "God's Creation", but he is likely to have called it "Universe". But I guess that "God's Creation" would be fine. <br/>
::I am not trying to impose my point of view, anyway, and mine are just suggestions. If you find them not suitable for your website, feel free to reject them. <br/>
