I have three scopes...two refractors and one reflector. The reflector is the most powerful.
For me...Saturn is the most beautiful planet...although I never tire of looking at the moon.
I use binoculars rather than a telescope to look at the Andromeda galaxy. Just seems to be easier to see.
LOL
Hawking jumped the shark years ago with his AI warnings. He has no way of knowing what the answer is anyway. The best any of us can say is we don't know. To believe a universe always existed before time began at the moment of the big bang requires assumptions not unlike a belief in god.
Yeah...there is decent evidence for the Big Bang...although it is possible that one day science will discard it completely. It happens!
Under any circumstances...the Big Bang says nothing about whether or not gods exist.
Anyone who sees a blind guess as coming from reason and logic...simply does not understand reason or logic.
Nonsense about faith being detached from reason and logic.
Neither play a significant role in a blind guess.
There’s excellent logic in support of an intelligent agent behind the fine-tuning of the physical constants throughout the universe; arguably moreso in biology, where the sheer amount of integrated complexity practically shouts design.
In fact, it’s takes a considerable amount of faith in materialistic processes to believe that biological life just happened to occur.
That takes more faith than I can muster.

The BB is a theory that attempts to account for cosmological origins and doesn’t say anything about the origin of life.
Actually, the BB assumes a singularly that inexplicably popped into existence and then expanded into what we know as the present universe. The cosmological red shift is good evidence that the universe is expanding. I see no good reason to reject it.

Neither do I, Darth, and future science may show that it remains the best explanation for what brought THIS part of the universe into being.
But even scientists and theoretical physicists like Hawking acknowledge that they do not know what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang. And they do not know if there is more to the "physical" universe...than what was brought into existence by the Big Bang.
There may be a LOT more to REALITY than we humans can even imagine right now.
