Scientist fails to diss God. Chalk one up for the Christians.

Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the Universe

The Big Bang was the result of the inevitable laws of physics and did not need God to spark the creation of the Universe, Stephen Hawking has concluded

Telegraph.Uk.co By Laura Roberts: . . . . . In his latest book, The Grand Design, an extract of which is published in Eureka magazine in The Times, Hawking said: “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.” . . . . .In June this year Prof Hawking told a Channel 4 series that he didn't believe that a "personal" God existed. He told Genius of Britain: "The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God' but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions." . . . . . >>>>

Editor's notes: you may want to read the full article. Note that Hawkins writes as if "spontaneous creation" is something more in evidence than is the notion of a "designed creation." It is not. He writes as if "spontaneous creation" is more than a philosophical postulate (know that a "postulate" is an unproven axiom that "works" but is not provable). Before the article ends, Hawkins allows for the laws of science to be laws "of God," but rejects the notion of a personal God. Of course, if Hawkins allows for "God," he cannot eliminate a "personal God." His effort at doing so is just plain silly.

Point of post: to point to the fact that regardless of the credentials of the given atheist, an iron-clad argument against God or his participation in creation always meets with abject failure. Understand that science HAS NOTHING that supports its claim of "spontaneous creation" anymore than the Christian has "proof" of a creator God. In the end, both considerations are postulated concepts, philosophical in nature and scope, not scientific in the slightest. The Christian believes in the added ontological dimension of "spiritual existence" while the secularist rejects that view.

The secularist only has "evolution" as a process of creation and cannot explain "morality" or "the conscience" or
the very idea, itself, of "god," or of the universal need for "civil law" or why man does not defecate in his neighbor's yard. A Christian has the answer to these things.

But, I have run out of time and "no," I am not leaving to visit my neighbor. -- jds
