Stephen Hawking has said in his new book, that “God Did Not Create The Universe”, this is on the basis of physics. Now the question is, whether Stephen Hawking is trying to get into some sort of religious controversy here. Hawking’s new book is scheduled to be released this month and it seems its packing in some controversy for sure.
Hawking says that the universe has been created by the Big Bang event and not by some god. He also added that this is a challenge by physics to the people’s traditional beliefs. His new book seems to also be a challenge to the religious societies around the world, that have their core beliefs in God.
In his book “Grand Designs”, he has quoted “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing’. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.” He means that we exists because of gravity, and the Big Bang event. But it will be very hard for Hawking to convince most of the people who are outside the science society, to believe in his theory of creation. But it is not like this, unlike Hawking, there are many famous scientists that believe in the existence of ‘God’.
So, God did not create the Universe? But, what if, God being the all powerful being that he is, actually created the Big Bang? And with a little tweaking here and there over the past few billion years created the right conditions for life to have evolved?
Just as good a theory as Professor Hawkings, eh?
A creator must be exempt from the laws that the creator sets. For example, a computer is created by humans, but humans aren’t subject to the laws and restrictions that a computer has. A computer does not have emotion, while a human does, and so on. Similarly, the Creator of human beings is exempt from the laws it has set upon us, such as having to be created. We can’t comprehend the nature of God as humans, as God is not like humans. He is much greater, and therefore, His existence is incomprehensible to humans.
Stephen Hawking has been recently in the news for saying (if I properly understand him) that the universe could have come into being without the assistance of God. Given his own deplorable condition, I can’t help wondering if he feels he could similarly get by without the assistance of God himself…
