God came first. Got it. Who made God?
God was, is and always will be. No one made God.
Funny, my statement of belief is just as much of a statement of belief as Hawking's belief in nothing making something.
That's the question that illustrates the limit of the mind of man.
Who made God? What came before the Big Bang? What caused the laws of physics? etc.
These are the questions that led one to realize that, ultimately, we all have to humbly live by faith.
And btw, "who made God?" "what came before the Big Bang" etc. are no where near important as "why we are here?" or "how should I treat my neighbor".
Humans have a very limited capacity of understanding what this God is all about. By the very Divine nature of His Sovereignty over ALL creation and existence beyond/ruling over all dimensions (Just how many, what human math wizard knows), this God was never a fabrication to begin with. All laws of sciences, natural or theoretic of creation, based on “intelligent” humans that named them, DO NOT rule over this God. We are open to believe this or not...which goes into “lex parsimoniae” argument by atheist who do not “know all” .
I know you are trying to equate my thought with what hawkings and co are saying, but that is not the issue. The point is that Hawkings is saying he CAN explain everything, literally everything, logically and rationally. I'm not saying that I can, I'm saying that he can't. In fact I'm saying that no-one can.
