It seems that coming out as an athiest is a really good way to boost book sales, I wonder of Palin will ply this tactic. lol

It doesn't seem that Steven Hawkings is an athiest. He avoids the discussion of God altogrther. Atheist tend to make a religion of anti-God or any antireligion.

'Intelligent design' takes on a new meaning

Was our universe created by another civilization using technology not much more advanced than our own?

Bald is not a hair color and Atheism is not a religion.

God's gonna REALLY PUNISH HIM for that!
- make the wheels fall off his chair, batteries die in his translator? What else could He do to a mangled lump of human meat that still managed to become a genius? The old lightning bolt might be interpreted as mercy instead of punishment!

Here is Matt Dillahunty on the Atheist Experience talking about atheist 'faith'


He's just wicked

[andyt]

the idea that the universe around us was created by people very much like ourselves, using devices not too dissimilar to those available to scientists today.

As with much else in modern physics, the idea involves particle acceleration, the kind of thing that goes on in the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Before the LHC began operating, a few alarmists worried that it might create a black hole that would destroy the world. That was never in the cards: Although it is possible that the device could generate an artificial black hole, it would be too small to swallow an atom, let alone the Earth.

However, to create a new universe would require a machine only slightly more powerful than the LHC -- and there is every chance that our own universe may have been manufactured in this way.

Then you have to ask, who created the people who created the machine....

Pfffff, I did, in a former life, you should know that!

And if you want to know who created me... I did! That's how I roll

Nobody created people, just universes. Once created they follow the laws of physics and evolution to produce intelligent life. The article doesn't speculate, but maybe there's no beginning or end to time. "We have always created the universes, we always will create the universes. The moment is structured that way."

Hawking a very very bright man. His words always carry much weight and demand attention. When he speaks its time to stop and listen.

I'm talking about what you said here, if our universe was manufactured by a machine, who made who.

The only factual answer to who created this all, if anybody even had a hand in it is, WE HAVE NO IDEA! That's the only honest and true answer to that question. Any other answer be it scientific or theologic is pure specualtion/faith/belief.
