Today, Fox News published a
story about physicist Stephen Hawking crediting the laws of physics for the creation of the universe rather than God. He is quoted as saying:
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing"
From reading this, you might say to yourself that if God created the laws and the laws "created" the universe, then God still created the universe. If that is the case, then the existence of the universe is still dependent on the existence of God. However, to fully complete his denial of God, Dr. Hawking then goes on to exclude even this notion:
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
Really?
