God didn't create the universe according to Hawking: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci...903-14rva.html

It's true because I did. No really.

I just can't remember it

Same here, hence the OP. I'm also surprised at the mild reception here so far.

All the Bible thumping Republicans around here are probably prepping their bullets, beer and burgers for the holiday weekend...

I on the other hand am working all three days... so in advance: you all suck...

oh who and I'm kidding if I had the days off I would just be spending it playing HOI2 and screwing around with 3ds max...

I'll bet if this thread title was something like, "Acclaimed physicist Stephen Hawking's says God did not create the universe", it would be two, to three pages full of rabid bit chomping already.

The hypothesis that god created the universe can be true depending on the definition of god.

Considering how little we know about the universe, I would say that no one on Earth can have a clue as to what/who created the universe.

Possibly but a name like that would have been dull and too easy. As this famous legend from many a firework is actually quoted by Hawkings himself and in the article I thought it apt. Looks like all the cantakerous ones are on holiday for the weekend.

frankly, I applaud that Stephen Hawking is pushing aside the possibility he could go to hell for saying what he's saying. takes guts.

That's no worse than the Norse creation myth.
