I feel sorry for Hawkins, Satan has a great hold on him, but even he can be saved. God wants none to perish in their sins. He's made money off his non belief so it would be much harder for him to accept Jesus as Saviour and admit he was wrong, all his atheist followers would be devastated. Still there have been atheist that have become Christian and vice versa, some Christians that become atheist, the latter will be worst off because blasphemy is the one unforgivable sin.

FD God did write the ten commandments with His finger of fire carved in stone tablets, I would imagine they were heavy to carry. If He wrote the whole bible this way, there would not be a crane strong enough to carry it. Yes God used man to write what He dictated to them to write. Lawyers dictate letters to their secretaries all the time but they are just as binding as if he wrote them with his hand. I believe the bible because much of what was prophesied has already come to pass. The only thing left to happen is the rapture of the church and the seven years of tribulation, which is getting very close. I've had things happen to me that showed me the hand of God working in my life. I've even heard the voice of the Holy Spirit twice in my life and each time He was chastising me for wrong thinking or wrong doing. FD get into the word and ask God to reveal Himself to you, He loves you, He made you, He wants you to come to Him ,but He won't force you.
