[WhatNot]

We know the universe isn't eternal, otherwise the finite energy would have run out. We know that all events have a cause. We know that for the atheist and evolutionist, all causes and events are natural so the "first cause" has to be a natural one.

I think my description, of Hyper-agnostic, best describes the worldview of Hawkings.

The universe has not run out of energy because energy and mass are interchangeble (E=MC2), and there is a lot of "dark matter" tout there that is still unaccounted for.

All events don't have a cause. Some are just random, as proven by Quantum Mechanics.

Things have a "beginning" and an "end" because humans experience time flowing forward, but time is not necessary for the universe to exist. The natural order of things is entropic... from order, chaos. The universe is actual moving the opposite from chaos, toward order...
