Stephen Hawking Says God Did Not Create the Universe: What Do You Think?
We need to be very careful in how we respond to things like this, particularly as Christians. One thing we must not do is make personal attacks on Stephen Hawking. To do so is not logical and I believe is a sinful response also.
What we must do is allow all ideas to be tested and follow what survives the tests. If the claims of Christianity pass the tests, then we should be Christians. If ideas exclusive to Christianity pass the tests, such as what Hawking is claiming, then we should follow those. We should always follow the truth and not be afraid to allow our ideas to be tested.
I read the following at http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=11542128 . . .
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,” writes Hawking. “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists why we exist.”
Let’s critique Hawking’s statement rather than critique Hawking, the man. Assuming the quote is taken in context, Hawking claims “the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” In order for something to be created, it must not exist. In order to create, something must exist to do the creating. Therefore, for the universe to create itself, the universe must both exist and not exist at the same time. This is a violation of the law of non-contradiction, a basic foundational concept. So it is safe to dismiss the idea from Hawking.

New “Resources” Page
In addition to their current writing ministry, Full-Proof will be adding Bible-study helps to their new “Resources” page. We know that your time is limited…and often so is your money! Free Bible-study helps are available all over the internet, but they’re not always easy to find or trustworthy. Having done much of the leg work to find these available/trustworthy resources, we desire now to share them with you to make your personal study of God’s Word more profitable. Look for resources such as General Bible Overviews, Old and New Testament Surveys, Commentaries, Systematic Theologies and Devotionals. Many of these helps come from other places on the internet, but eventually we will be adding more of our own resources to the mix. If there is something specific you’re looking for that you don’t yet see on our site, please let us know – we’d love to help you find just what you’re looking for as you pursue a deeper knowledge of God’s Word.
To get you started while we upload and organize the coming resources, visit a few of our favorite Bible Study websites:
