Well, he may not *demon*ize them, ha ha, but he does call them as he sees them, which is as delusional. I would call them instead irrational (i.e., poor) thinkers, but and therefore we both find them likely wrong.

And these nonthinkers do demonize, or attempt to, we atheists/free thinkers.

But we don't know yet how time, which we perceive as space, began, which does not mean it had to be created, by an agency (defined above as intender, if you will).

Then again, Hawking's latest book may explain even that. It's on my Solstice list.
