Hawking is not troubled by the Genesis principle. That is where his line of reasoning leads. At creation God dismissed all alternative realities except this one.
Hawking has always brilliantly argued for Creation by Design and not by blind chance.
This, once again, puts the nail in the coffin of that old mummy, Darwin. Now to dismantle anti-theistic evolution as "scientific."
You're on some serious drugs if you think Stephen Hawking is a Creationist.

And it's pointless to point this out yet again, but Darwin wrote "Origin of Species" not "Origin of Life" or "Origin of the Universe."
Ah redesigning the design, some are better at it than others. There will need be a retraining seminar to lay out the "fences" for the grant givers.
