Hawking Says God Did Not Create the Universe; Claims Universe Came from Spontaneous Creation

The USA Today website reports today (September 2, 2010) that British physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking argues in his new book that God did not create the universe.

The book -- titled "The Grand Design" -- was co-authored with Hawking's fellow physicist Leonard Mlodinow, and is scheduled to be published by Bantam Press on September 9.

The book challenges Isaac Newton's theory that God must have been involved in creation, because our solar system could not have come out of chaos simply through nature.

"The Grand Design" says, "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to set the universe going."
