Please stop sharing this "Hawking" quote, people; it's misattributed to Hawking. The actual author is Daniel J. Boorstin.
I created the meme below as an alternative 2.5 years ago because I grew tired of all these misattributions (mostly to Einstein, Hawking and Sagan). It's very ironic when this quote, warning against the 'illusion of knowledge', is shared without checking the source, especially when skeptics do it. (remember what Lincoln said about Internet quotes ;) ).
