    "content": "In this world and in this House, if you are not a son, you are a daughter. I do not think that anyone here was born of the kind of conception that we are told about in the Bible. You are, therefore, either someone’s son or daughter. You are either a father or a mother. If you are one of those, this is the kind of thing that should keep you awake at night. As a son or a daughter, you did not have a choice to determine the state in which you would be born. It was God’s gift and miracle to you that you were born with two feet that could walk; eyes that could see and hands that could work.

However, that has been the story; that to survive as a Spartan, you had to be physically fit, because their life was spent in the trenches of war. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a gentleman by the name Stephen Hawking, who died in 2018. He was one of the geniuses of the current generation. If you love the reality of science, physicists and the people who do research in that space, stories about the galaxy and black holes, you would know the late Stephen Hawking, because he is the one who brought us the conclusive evidence of black holes. After his death, there have been confirmations that black holes exist. A black hole is a fairly complex part of our galaxy, where you can get sucked in and be rendered into nothingness. The late Stephen Hawking wrote a book titled, “Brief Answers to the Big Questions.” In that book, he attempts to address some of the big questions in life from a scientist’s perspective. The first Chapter of that book questions whether there is a God. Using physics and mathematics, Stephen Hawking attempts to prove or disapprove the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
