I find it actually offensive that you would compare some historians studying the arab version of an ancient cult of Horus to one of the world's leading scientists studying and breaking down the nature of the universe.
Don't get me wrong, I think history (including that of Mr. Christ) is important, but Hawking embodies the collected body of knowledge of humanity in a way that relatively few people do. Your comparison is false equivalency at best, but I would label it blatantly and egregiously hyperbolic trash.

Easy bro, you're getting a little too heated about this. It was an obvious, caricatured example of neckbeardery, not a legitimate parallel. Lighten up. We agree: mere PhDs, published authors, and tenured professors at reputable universities are not comparable to arguably the greatest scientific mind alive at present.
If you agree that the history of Jesus (agree to disagree re: Christ) is worthy of scholarship and expertise, then we don't disagree.
