Cosmic Clowning: Stephen Hawking's "new" theory of everything is the same old CRAP

     When reading the article Cosmic Clowning: Stephen Hawking's "new" theory of everything is the same old CRAP posted by Robert Karl Stonjek, I had to read over the article twice. The concept of a unifying theory of physics that Hawking and fellow colleagues have been trying to unite quantum mechanics and relativity into a combined "package" and would explain to us why the big bang happened, and why our earth is what it is and not something entirely different. I thought it was kind of funny that Hawking "jokes" around with other scientists and colleagues about how computers are becoming so advanced that they are taking over the need and jobs for physicists. His implications he talks of the advancement of physics and to "circle back to its spiritual roots" as an scientific theory/explanation of not just what our universe and earth are, but why they are what they are and why we are stuck here in this cosmic existence. I found this article to be brief, but quite interesting. Some of the material seems to be a bit over my head, (M-theory) just because of how even the most intelligent individuals,scientists, cosmologists still struggle with this idea. The real question is, could there really be a theory for everything? Who knows. At the end of the article the author talks about when he attended a symposium in Sweden called "The Birth and Early Evolution of Our Universe" and how when the cosmologists visited a Lutheran church afterwards and were awarded with a standing ovation type welcoming. I found this very intriguing. The long historical battle that has been continuous throughout human history of science vs. religion seemed to be put aside in this  particular church with individuals who all shared the same common question: Why are we here? Is our existence a mere coincidence or a scientific miracle? The answer is out there somewhere.. 
I will be reading the other articles and posting another blog shortly.
