Hawking - Really?

It's hard not to be a fan of Stephen Hawking's. Even if you're only mildly nerdy, and regardless of the fact that his brilliance is light years ahead of your own, he has an amazing mind. Nonetheless, he recently opined about the existence of God, stating that belief in such was a crutch for the weak-minded and frightened.

Really? Come on. Gimme a break Steve. A brilliant mind like yours should be able to immediately recognize the folly of trying to "prove" the existence of God. If I, as the counterpoint, lay a premise for "God" as "a being which is beyond our senses, our reason, our science, our understanding and our grasp," that God becomes immediately unprovable.

The concept of an ineffable, almighty God is by definition outside the realm of science. They may coexist, and the concept of one may enlighten thoughts of the other, but God simply isn't subject to the laws of any form of physics or mathematics.
