God did not create the universe: Hawking

British physicist Stephen Hawking has said that the creation of the universe was a result of the inevitable laws of physics and it did not need God's help.

In his latest book titled "The Grand Design", Hawking writes: "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."

    interesting..
    this dates back to Galileo, where he tried to prove earth is not flat and earth is not centre of universe. Same is with creation of universe, unless we know how universe was formed ( say pre-bigbang??), its formation will be attributed to God.

    I don't believe there is existence of something like god people pray. And if there is then it is in faith, belief, determination, dedication, persistence, love, affection and feeling of doing what is right of a person in spite of all odds. The thing people trust just because they saw others trusting it, they never saw god, they never felt god nor god ever came to tell i am there. But things i believe, i saw them, i felt them and they even came to me to tell yes buddy we exist and will help you tackle everything. I don't believe in existence of god in any form for any religion, what i believe is present, is just life in one or another form.
