screw heisenberg, folks, it's time once again to say with total quantum certainty stephen hawking is such an a-hole. [laughter] hawking won't even share his mastery of the universe with the guy who made the universe. jim. >> hawking writes in his book, "it is not necessary to invoke god." can you prove that god does not exist? >> one can prove that god doesn't exist, but science makes god unnecessary. >> >> stephen: oh, science makes god unnecessary? well, i say your books make ambient unnecessariment besides, steve, scientists do need god for when they graft a kitten's head on to a chicken and cry out, "oh, god, what have i done?" plus it's just plain rude. if you take the big bang away from god, what does he have left? oh, he burned a bush and got a girl pregnant. great. he's a high school junior. what are we supposed to do without god now? when i want my football team to win the playoffs, am i supposed to pray to physics? when i won my grammy last year, should i have thanked the periodic table? and when i'm engaged in the sweet act of love making, should i cry out, "oh, friction."
