Stephen Hawking: "No Possibility of God" - Was Stephen Hawking a Fool?

He was called the most brilliant scientist in the world - “Science's Brightest Star.” How could a brilliant man reduce himself to the depths of irrationality. . . so much so that he would say, "I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing." Could it be that Stephen Hawking was a fool? What does this say about the field of pop science and the popular perception of knowledge and wisdom in a post-Christian world?
