    God did not create the universe, says Hawking




    AFP/File – God no longer has any place in theories on the creation of the Universe due to a series of developments …

    LONDON (Reuters) – God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.

    In "The Grand Design," co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow, Hawking says a new series of theories made a creator of the universe redundant, according to the Times newspaper which published extracts on Thursday.

    "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes.

    I'm no Christian, but I totally fail to see any logic behind Hawking's deduction. Science can explain more and more and more of what is not yet understood, and never rule out the possibility of an intelligent creator.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."

    In my opinion, whenever a scientist attacks religion, it's usually a publicity stunt. He's trying to create controversy to sell more books. This conflict between science and religion is a creation of the media. I constantly urge scientist, Christians, and the general public not to buy into it.
