Hawking: God did not create the Universe

Well it's about time Hawking said this explicitly.  His new book, "The Grand Design" argues that god is simply an unnecessarily redundant idea.  The universe is the result of the natural laws of physics, and when properly understood, the current state of the universe was inevitable.  His new book looks promising, and will hopefully articulate a powerful unification of Einstein's theory of relativity and Quantum theory.

Hey Phaedrus!

In case you haven't gotten it yet= great book. I just got it last night haven't put it down yet (kindle edition!)

Sorry to spam, wanted to drop you a line but can't find a contact email, I want to let you know I've started a new blog you'll probably be interested in- it's called the existential vortex. Check it out if you get a chance http://existentialvortex.blogspot.com
