You're entitled not to care if you don't want to. And who cares whether you care about them or not?
I don't care about black holes either. Whether they exist or not is of no consequence to me living my life now. If it should turn out they are pathways to other universes, dimensions or times, that's great, but I personally am never going to be able to visit one in my life time.
Of course if it were to be proven that black holes in some way affect my life now, I might be more interested in them. But I will never get to visit one.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

You know, and maybe the truth is true, maybe they do lead to another realm?
Like event horizon?
Actually i feel really sorry for Stephen Hawkings... The poor guy lived an ok life i guess, and then died in unbelief...
Who knows? Seems like everything is pointing to something

Seems to me he would be resting in peace right now, free of suffering he went through all those years. I don't think we need to feel sorry for him.

Do you labor under the impression that your prayers will make any difference to a dead person? If so, how?

Here’s a fun video from the excellent Kurzgesagt organisation that explains this a bit more.
