Former “Growing Pains” star-turned-evangelist Kirk Cameron said astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is full of “absurd ideas,” especially about Heaven.
Kirk Cameron Challenges Stephen Hawking
Hawking recently said that the concept of an afterlife is a “fairy story.” That comment drew a tough response from Cameron, who does believe in Heaven.

“To say anything negative about Stephen Hawking is like bullying a blind man,” Cameron, 40, told E! News .

“He has an unfair disadvantage, and that gives him a free pass on some of his absurd ideas. Professor Hawking is heralded as ‘the genius of Britain,’ yet he believes in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything and that life sprang from non-life.”

Cameron was responding to comments Hawking made in an interview in The Guardian , in which he said Heaven doesn’t exist. Hawking, the author of the 2010 tome “The Grand Design,” said the idea of an afterlife was for people who are afraid of death.

“I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail,” said Hawking, 69. “There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”
