In his newest book, renowned physicist Professor Stephen Hawking, shown here in June at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, says that God was not necessary for creation.

LONDON (AP) — Did creation need a creator? British physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking says no, arguing in his new book that there need not be a God behind the creation of the universe. The concept is explored in The Grand Design, excerpts of which were printed in the British newspaper The Times on Thursday. The book, written with fellow physicist Leonard Mlodinow, is scheduled to be published by Bantam Press on Sept. 9.

Nothing from nothing.

My man Billy Preston had it down.

I wonder who created gravity.

It surely wasn't created by some jewish guy that needed rest on the 7th day.

I'll go out on a limb and say gravity is generated by matter, which has always existed.

I guess that means matter and energy are god.

Now we have a testable hypothesis.

Science can actually prove that matter and energy exist.

So who created matter?

So who created matter?

That's a question that man will never be able to answer.

But, if God created matter, then who or what created God?

It does amaze me that we, as a species, can't even begin to comprehend all of this.

Are you of the "particles" or the "waves" school regarding matter?

Neither. I'm from the "I haven't a danged clue" regarding matter :)

I don't think the human mind will ever be able to comprehend anything that doesn't have a beginning. Everything comes from somewhere or from something. Nothing can ever be made from nothing.

Your statements fly in the face of people who believe in the biblical jewish tribal god.

The jewish tribal god, yahweh, claims in the bible he has no beginning, no end, and has no creator. Basically, yahweh sprung from nothing.

If you profile the creators of most superhero comic books, professional magic tricks, and Hollywood movies, you might be able to guess who created yahweh.

He doesn't say that. What He says is "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end."

If yahweh had a beginning, an alpha, who created yahweh?

If yahweh has an end, an omega, who destroys yahweh?

The correct answer to these questions is....the furtive mind of the authors of the old testament.

The same people that profit themselves offering you Hollywood products, superhero comic books, and professional magician tricks.

It would be useful to conclude that the creator of the universe, energy and matter, is also the creator of the authors of the bible, who created the tribal fiction of yahweh.

We might say that whoever/whatever created God created gravity. But that doesn't solve anything. Destruction is much easier to envision--some day the universe will go ka-boom or retreat back onto itself with a whimper.

God was not created by OT "authors". Hindus, Greeks, Babylonians, Egyptians all had stories of the gods and creation. I put authors in quotes because the stories were there long before the Hebrew scribes decided it was time to put them in writing. The stories, of course, were sacred and the scribes did not consider themselves authorized as which one to pick so they wrote them all down. Which is why you have two accounts as to the creation of humans.

Since mass and energy pre-date any god that calls itself the alpha, the beginning, then that implies your god was created by mass and energy.

Who is the real god here, the creator (mass & energy) or the creation (yahweh)?
