the same conclusions are not always reached. Hawking used these forms when he assessed that it was not necessary for the existence of a god to create the universe. Being the positivist he is, he excluded anything considered to be "non-sensical" such as metaphysics, etc.
You are showing me that you have little knowledge of anything beyond empirical enquiry. Part of the reasoning used in assessing the subject of being, for instance, is to applying recognized ideas such as Newtonian laws of motion. You can drag this out forever, but the fact remains that these are recognized epistemologies and regardless of whether or not YOU recognize does not mean that they do not exist. Personally I am not content to limit my thinking to the 5 senses. Logical positivism, as you are trying to solely use is no longer accepted as the only epistemology by most disciplines. It is outdated because it is so limited. I use it often, but not solely.
