How has Stephen Hawking survived?

Simple answer. Aliens. The same reason why when scientists dissected Einstein's brain it was in the condition of a much younger man. The Galactic Alliance wants to accelerate our scientific progress so we can join them.

If Stephen Hawking ever met God, the first thing he'd ask him is 'So - we can now assume you created us, but who created you then?'.
That could get awkard...

That's the only logical conclusion, since the disease is such that he could have died 50 years ago.

Care to elaborate on how that is a logical conclusion?

That's about it, yes.

I believe this is the likely logical conclusion.

Tell you what - why don't you go tell him that theory and ask him his opinion? :whistle:
We'll be standing over here - with a camera rolling.

ALS, like MS, is a mystery to us. My brother woke up one morning with this feeling that his hand was still asleep. A neuro consult a few days later and he was diagnosed with MS. He was 24 at the time. He's turning 52 this year. Still going strong - does the cannonball every year with his sons, has a thriving medical practice, restores Vintage Porches for a hobby.
A girl in his matric class was also diagnosed at age 28 with MS. She's still alive, but in a frail care ward - complete vegetative state, doesn't even recognise her mother.

We don't know why, we just don't know.

It is foolish for Hawking to be angry at God when the evidence is clear that he could have died decades ago. If I were him I'd be grateful I have lived a long full life and achieved such greatness in science.

All that he has achieved has had sweet FA to do with a god of any type.

I also doubt he is angry at this so called "god", because well he probably doesn't believe in it.

That would be the most stupid question ever, and only children are expected to think like that. Creation has got to have a beginning, and it's beginning can't be suggested to have it's beginning in creation. It's nonsenical.

Religion is nonsensical.

Actually its not a stupid question at all, its entirely valid.

I find this reasoning hilarious. You basically say the universe needed to be created by God because everything needs to be started by something else. Oh, except for God of course. The logic doesn't apply to them.

So yes, asking God who created them would be the most important question of all.

And then want to put a positive spin on it...yet all I can think is "warra****".

I'm still waiting for an answer, by the way.

Hawkin's owes nothing to this 'god' you speak of. Also, I believe that if there really were a 'god', that question above is a valid one. ;)
