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.

If there's a better example of "Professing themselves to be wise they become fools" you would be hard pressed to find it.

Wouldn’t you all love to be there when he arrives for the reading of names from the Book of Life?

Okay Steve, who created the laws of physics? Or did they just write themselves?

Well, I guess that I’d say that I, if I were there to hear the names, would lament for his lost soul....

God did not create the universe, says Hawking

Hawking was not there and does not know what he is talking about, says God.

We won’t be spending eternity with this arrogant, nitwit.

He’ll be gnashing his teeth in defiance.

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.

The "Big Bang(TM)" idea is bad physics and bad theology rolled into a package. Having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes; nothing would ever "bang" its way out of that. Likewise for a supposedly omniscient and omnipotent God to suddenly decide it would be cool to create a universe, 6K or 17B years ago it doesn't matter, while the idea had never occurred to him previously, is basically idiotic.

Likely falling back on what he’s best at deducing couple with a huge dose of anger at his condition and why a “God” would do this to him. It’s a pitiful result.......

Hawking may not know that, but I know that if Obama could break them he would.

Well I don’t believe that lamenting is possible, for there is only rejoicing, no tears.
