Stephen Hawking says that God did not create the Universe
Stephen Hawking made a very foolish statement, he thinks that God was not necessary for the Universe to exist.
I once remember asking my astronomy professor about the origin of the matter needed to create the Universe. He said, “That’s a matter for philosophers and theologians”.
Oh, drop your bomb and go play golf.
AFP said, “Hawking cites the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting a star outside our own Solar System as a turning point against Isaac Newton’s belief that the Universe could not have arisen out of chaos.
“‘That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions — the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass — far less remarkable, and far less compelling as evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings,’he wrote.”
MSNBC quoted, “‘Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,’ Hawking and his co-author, Caltech physicist Leonard Mlodinow, write in ‘The Grand Design,’ which is due to be issued next week. ‘Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.’”
So, gravity is “nothing”? One has to wonder if Hawking graps basic logic.
Spontaneous creation? Is that observable? Testable? Repeatable? Those are all components of science.
This is a bad assumption. God created those remote planets for His own pleasure:

Nature of GOD :The understanding of God is not something which is to be understood apart from His nature. The understanding of God includes His formless existence and all the forms created by Him. God is not something apart from forms. He is not something outside from physics and gravity rather all these laws and their effects are within God.
Guru Nanak (The first teacher of Sikhism) says:
“We can only express a sense of wonder about the beginning. The absolute void (Nothingness) abided endlessly deep within Himself then. From His state of absolute existence, He assumed the immaculate form; from formless, He assumed the supreme form.” (Page 940 Guru Granth Sahib, holy scripture)
Having said that,Guru Nanak identifies the God in following words
“O Nanak, the True One is the Giver of all; He is to be identified through creative nature we see. ||8||” (Page 141 Holy Scripture Guru Granth Sahib)
The creative nature has the power to create, sustains and destruct the life. Can Stephen Hawkins reject this identification of God given by a saint born in 1469?
