Very few scientists have any training in Western philosophy, much less Eastern. The same goes for training (or even basic classes) in the philosophy of science. Most of them look even more foolish when they open their mouths and demonstrate how totally ignorant they are about theology. They show a lot of arrogance and do so without any sense of self-reflection. Hawkings is now a poster boy for this kind of shallow thinking.
