"Fairy Story" ~ Hawking on Heaven and Religion...

Ian Sample in the Guardian shares exclusive interview with cosmologist Stephen Hawking who asserts...
"There is no heaven or afterlife [...] that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. [...] "We should seek the greatest value of our action." [...] "I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first."
Blunt, honest words from a remarkable intellect unbroken by the irrational religiosity all around us.
