I think the point was that there is no proof for "God the Alpha"... in other words, the personal, humanistic God who intervenes for "good" people. But yes, I agree that there is no empirical evidence either pro or con for the afterlife. The absence of proof doesn't mean that it's not there. Just that if it's there, we cannot perceive it or reach those who have been there.
It's better to live your life doing good for good's sake.
"How you treat the least of these, is how you treat me..." - Jesus Christ. In other words, if you live your life for your fellow men, you honor God. Overt shows of piety and prayer mean nothing compared to how we treat our fellow men. ;)
Or, as Robert Heinlem would put it: "Thou art God" (meaning God is in everyone and everything)
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Diba yung sinasabi nilang bilib sa sarili o sa sariling kakayahan faith din yan?
Wala kang kahawak hawak parang impossible pero dahil sa bilib mo sa sarili mo o sa mindset mo, yung impossible nagiging possible?
Maraming ganyan kwento diba, wat if ang isang tao positive ang mindset at faith sarili e nagawang maging successful sa buhay niya at in attribute niya yun sa faith sa kanyang diyos, masama ba yun?

There's a bit of faith in every one of us. And this particular faith isn't only about or depend on God. Believing is also faith.
; Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
; Loyalty to a person or thing; allegiance: keeping faith with one's supporters.
There's nothing wrong in believing unless these beliefs contradicts with what is right & what is the truth/reality.
Hawking's point isn't all about the absence of afterlife, his point was to live every single second as it was your last. Never depend on religion only while you're doing nothing but flatten out your butt by just sitting & saying AMEN. AMEN & AMEN. Stand up & do SOMETHING coz by praying only & doing nothing won't lead you to anything. You're just killing the time that what's left in you.
Methinks the Battle of Carthage scene in Russel Crowe's Gladiator (yr. 2000) is a homage to that...
