Interesting blog by Michael Patton here: http://www.ttpstudents.com/content/blog/MichaelPatton/thenext100years

Michael sums it up well, “God willing, we will wait on God and see what the next 100 years has in store for his glory, whether by our life or His judgment.”

Extract:
“Yahoo! Answers” has posted their year end best questions list. Stephen Hawking took first place with his meta-anthropological/eschatological question “How can the human race survive the next 100 years?” Many of you know that Dr. Hawking has served his life as a prolific theoretical physicist, contributing much to the realm of cosmology. Hawking’s is by no means a believer in Christ or religion and could be labeled an antagonist to the same. It is interesting that he should pose such a profound question that comes face to face with the bleak condition of man. It is interesting that many of Hawking’s like-minded thinkers, along with Hawking himself, would chastise any Christian who posed this question, believing them to be motivated by a naive dooms-day view of man held by what they believe to be a sensational interpretation of a mythological book. But by offering this question, Hawking demonstrates that non-religious thinkers have a dooms-day scenario of their own. The question itself begs the question of the atheistic eschatological worldview that naturally arises even without the Scripture. Technological advances, depraved dictators, and terror mungers put this question at the forefront of everyones mind, making it the most popular question of 2006.
