Heaven, afterlife are beyond human mind

Stephen Hawking believes there is no heaven (No afterlife, no heaven: Stephen Hawking, May 17). The Cambridge-based scientist said that the belief in heaven or an afterlife is a “fairy story” for people who are afraid of death. Being a scientist, it is natural for Mr Hawking to look at everything from a scientific perspective. But death and afterlife are abstract ideas and are beyond the ability of the human mind to fully comprehend. The renowned astrophysicist’s observation is unlikely to affect the prospects of clergies and swamis who live by preaching about life after death and heaven.
