By the time he was 13, Hawking's hero was the atheist philosopher and mathematician, Bertrand Russell. At the same age, two of Hawking's friends became Christians as a result of the 1955 Billy Graham London campaign. According to his 1992 biographers, Hawking stood apart from these encounters with "a certain amused detachment." There is nothing in A Brief History of Time that deviates in a significant way from the religious views of the 13-year old Stephen Hawking." from http://www.leaderu.com/real/ri9404/bigbang.html

I guess that fits pretty well with the view of his quote - anyone ideas on this? .... Daddy?

P.S. There's Richard Feynman stamps! nobody wants to put those on letters to me?
