Really, how could it? You can’t prove a negative.

further I will say it again - science rejects the idea of a self-creating universe. There are no self-creating causes. The universe is the effect, not the cause. And causes just don’t create themselves.

Really the book needs to be honestly called: I won’t believe in God because I don’t like what that would do to my worldview, and instead I’ll ignore science and try to believe by faith the universe came about all on its own so I don’t have to think about God. But Oops, I still have to think about God because I have to say I don’t believe in God.

You cannot prove God. You cannot disprove God. God is transcendental, God is beyond proof.

I’ll be 66 years on this earth next month. At my age, this all is quite tiring to read. Mr Hawking, darling of the left, please STFU. Thank you.

The issue stands that even if you concede that there are Laws of matter and that someone created those Laws then why don’t you ask what created the creator?

You are willing to accept that life needs a creator cause it magically happening is impossible, God is a living creature (in that it exists and is sentient, not that it is possible to die) yet you require nothing to prove of it’s creation.

God can come to be by some magical property, but the universe needs an explanation?

“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

Maybe God created the Big Bang to create the universe. I believe that he could have done it in a week, but i also believe he could have done it in 7 AGES. Maybe Stephan Hawking was partly right. He based his information on CHRISTAIN scientists....

Please post back.

When I read “The Grand Design” I kept thinking, Hawking seems to be making a case for God’s existence. Then at the last minute, he does a 180 on us. I finished the book with a feeling of disappointment.
