A Romance of God, Science, and a Physically Stricken Genius

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2015)

Basically it is about the relationship between the physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife. It is based on Jane Hawking's book. For this I was disappointed. I wanted more his intuitiveness concerning the structure of the universe than his domestic life.
However, some of his philosophical perspectives are brought to light. He believes that an equation linking quantum mechanics with relativity can reveal the mind of God - perhaps, but such is purely speculative. Also, his assertion that belief or disbelief in God is inconsequential for legitimate scientific inquiry reveals his scientific/theological perspective, and it is one in which I agree.
At the heart of the film is the story of an absolute genius stricken with a catastrophic disease. A scene in the film brilliantly displays his rationale concerning a question given to him regarding the existence of God.
The Holy Roman Church promoted scientific inquiry hoping to substantiate scripture, or more precisely a interpretation of scripture. Data didn't substantiate a geocentric universe so to hell with science. Centuries later, Christianity still demonstrates the arrogance of humanity by relying on science (creation science) to prove the existence of God. This, while they decry scientific findings that are contrary to, once again, a interpretation.
Atheists are no less biased regarding science and theology. My philosophy suggests that if man, through his own reason, can prove or disprove the existence of God through science, then God isn't enough of a mystery to even consider.
