My issue with Hawking (not minimizing the many others) is that he blasted his ideas about subjects completely outside his domain. That is a huge problem. You would not consult you Rov when your washing machine needs repair. Why go to a physicist with questions about creation or politics? He had no right casting himself as expert in territory where he didn’t belong. That is a problem many of us have also. We can seek brochos from our Torah scholars, but need to direct seeking advice from those expert in the field.
