Stephen Hawking: God did not create Universe

[ArmyofHeaven777]

There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has said.

He had previously argued belief in a creator was not incompatible with science but in a new book, he concludes the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics.

The Grand Design, part serialised in the Times, says there is no need to invoke God to set the Universe going.

"Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something," he concluded.

Amen!

As usual the Atheists have a better understanding what believing in Darwinism means. There is no combining the theory of evolution and God.

to both responses. It never ceases to amaze me that everything posited by Darwinists as the point of origin of all things requires something prior to it in order to exist. You cannot have laws of physics without some matter on which those laws operate. The ancient philosophers were cleverer than our modern physicists, it seems. Was it not Parminedes of Elea who first stated 2500 years ago ex nihilo nihil fit ... "out of nothing nothing is made"? Or, to put it in modern English, "Nothing comes out of nothing." Yet our the wise men of science are tacitly arguing that ex nihilo nihil is not true. Yet their very theories require something to exist prior to what they state is ab origine, the singularity from which all things eventually have come. When you confront them with this you are either met with a gloss, or with the suggestion that if God can exist forever with no beginning, then matter can too. The logical fallacy employed in that argument is too blatant to even mention here ... but, then, to believe in any other answer would mean they would have to acknowledge that there is a Creator. And that would mean an acknowledgment of a fact that their presuppositions will not allow.

Sad. Romans 1:22 comes to mind.

Right Adrian. :

BTW: Professor Hawking may wish to speak to Pastor John MacArthur about whether God is "necessary".
