You should really look into what goes into these theories. Scientific theories are based observations and data collection over years of study. The people who conceptualize these theories are people with years of expertise, and their theories are always reviewed by other scientists in their field. The beauty of all these theories is that they can be proven wrong, and scientists love that because it means they have learned something new about the world around them. Scientists have every right to be sententious because they're the one's most qualified to speak about the world as we know it.Yes, I think most humans are pretty stupid, but I dont really agree with the things you are saying in the post.

So, you'd say Stephen Hawking isn't intelligent?
Yes. Almost all of Stephen Hawking's "work" is theoretical bull shit that really means nothing. String theory, for instance, is the most extreme example of "smart" people being extremely stupid and disregarding logic for no other reason than wanting science to explain all things. Logic rules life, logic rules science, logic is the basis or all reality and there is no escaping it but for some reason pathetic little self righteous humans like that dude try to act like they know everything when in fact, all of us know very little. Over the entire history of humans, things we have believed and thought to be true have been proven wrong over and over and over again, not using science, but using logic, because logic is what dictates anything to be true or false. But for some reason at every moment in human history there are people that deem themselves, or have been deemed, geniuses that are wrong about tons and tons of things in life but apparently NOW we know everything right. We have never even been to another planet but we know everything about black holes. There are so many theories that people seem to hold as truth, and people gravitate to those that come up with the theories when in fact, all they did was think up a bunch of shit that may or may not have some basis in reality and can not be proven correct or wrong which is why it stays a theory. I am not trying to say I know everything because I dont and I may not be the most intelligent person in the world in one way or another. But when I sit back and look at all the idiocy that goes on when people obsess themselves with science and then defy logic, or when humans are arrogant enough to actually think that what they know must be true because we are the mighty human race, or when people try to think so "deeply" (like the guy who created this topic) that logic and reasoning are all thrown out the window for some "deeper understanding" that in the end actually means nothing and has no value in dwelling upon, it sickens me and it makes me embarrassed to be considered a similar life form as these arrogant, self righteous, and childish people.
Now, commence the flame war from all those who think they know the truth and want to "prove" everything I just said crazy and wrong, as well as all the snarky, short, witty, useless comments from those trying to be "funny" on an internet forum.
You keep speaking about how logic dictates all this, when in fact science gives the tools to base our logic on. Through scientific methods and proofs we obtain our since of what logic is. Experiments and observations helps give credence to what we think is true.
While we'll never know everything, don't discredit people who trying to understand the world we live in. They are the only ones who care enough to try and make the world a bette, more informed place.
