Stephen Hawking intelligently wrote:

"The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet
orbiting round a very average star
in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies."


Unfortunately, like a typical scientist, he also, unintelligently, wrote:

"My goal is simple.
It is a complete understanding of the universe,
why it is as it is and why it exists at all."

Did he never hear of hubris ? Or does he just ignore the evidence ?
