William Maylis is a genius. At 7 months old, he already spoke in full sentences. Shortly before his second birthday, the boy added numbers, and by the age of 2 he was multiplying them. Now 11 years old, William entered Carnegie Mellon University last fall because he wants to become an astrophysicist.
The son of Greek preacher Peter Maylis, prodigy William believes in God. The young scientist wants to use science to prove that God exists. This is his mission.
The title "genius" for young William became official when Joan Rutsatz, a psychologist at Ohio State University, announced it. He graduated from high school at age 9 and became the youngest college graduate in July 2018.
A young man from Pennsylvania is not afraid to challenge established ideas. William claims to be able to prove that Einstein and Stephen Hawking are wrong when it comes to the origins of the universe.
The young astrophysicist stated that he did not agree with some of their discoveries. In particular, he disagrees with their assertion that there is no God. Scientists like Hawking have declared themselves atheists.

However, young William believes that it is more logical to say that God exists than not. He hopes to prove that only an "external force" could create the universe and thus confirm that God exists. Using simple logic, he outlines his general idea:
In an interview with Hellenic College Holy Cross, William explained this in more detail:
While many of his peers spend their school days firing paper airplanes in class or waiting for recess calls, William ponders the big questions of life and the universe. He said that after he “proves the existence of God,” he wants to study further.
