‘...the renowned physicist writes, “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” ‘

What was so special about 14 billion years ago? Why didn’t the universe create itself out of nothing during the eternity prior to that time? And why aren’t new universes creating themselves out of nothing all around us?

“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.”

Wow. That’s like pre hoc ergo propter hoc. The universe was before gravity therefore exists because of it? And it had to be before gravity because the universe is everything, which subsumes gravity. I mean, you can posit a universe without gravity, but not a gravity without a universe to BE in.

Hey, Hawky — tell us the one about the universe that factors in anti-gravity!

yes, *the universe creates*

notice they can do away with God quite easily but in his place they have another entity *the universe* which does it all. Very New Age Oprahish
