How so? All I did was say that Hawking's view that nothing created something is no different than my view that God was, is and will be. Neither of us have any scientific proof to back it up at all. By extension, he is just as silly as I would be for claiming something to be scientific fact without showing any proof whatsoever.
The hilarious part is Christian theology states explicitly that God cannot be observed by people at all. So at least my statement of belief is backed up as being just that, a belief.
People scoff at Hawking for saying the universe didn't need to be created, calling him an idiot. But their response is just that it had to come from somewhere and they throw God in. This isn't an answer. It just moves the answer an extra step away. If one can say God just is, then one can say the universe just is.
