I hope he pulls through, his life's work is so important to him and I'm sure he wants more than anything to be around to work on it some more.
Yes, but from what I've read, both in his book and then refreshed by troutman's excerpts, there is really no conclusive evidence to go either way. Certainly, the man's head is in such an entirely different realm of thinking that his views on spirituality are his own and that is the way it should be.

I hate how atheists and theists alike try to "out" people for their beliefs. Like, oh Stephen Hawking believes/does not believe in God, another tick for our team.

Let's just honour the man's life and his brilliance and take it as a compliment to our own humanity that our species is capable of such accomplishment
