Now JWs can ask: What is the big deal about bringing changes in teaching! Did not such a great scientist, Stephen Hawking, create ripples by saying that his most famous discovery of black holes did not actually exist, after all?
And Hawking is only a tip of the ice-berg! Here is a list of greatest scientific hoaxes!
The difference is that Hawking doesn't claim to speak for Jehovah God.
Sparky1,
There is one more difference! JWs claim that theirs is a “spirit-guided organization,” and still make mistakes! Whereas the scientists are in an advantaged state—they do not claim that they are dealing with certainties: "Not only is it not certain, but it's the lack of certainty that grounds scientific thinking (that) is a constant reminder to us that we don't know the answers," writes physicist Carlo Rovelli in Universe, an anthology on the origin, mysteries and future of the cosmos .
hawking never said that black holes dont exist. his words were taken out of context, fyi. check it out online please
Don't recall anyone losing their family because they disagreed with a scientific paper . . .
Well in that case a person should ask them what exactly SH said which is in fact very different from how the OP summarized him; SH is speculating about the event horizons quantum properties.
Also i fail to see why most entries on that list are scientific hoaxes.
A hoax is something deliberate, a deliberate deception. I don't think Steven hawking meant to deceive. He was mistaken.
