"Stephen Hawking makes it clear: There is no God
The physicist explains that science now offers more convincing explanations for existence. He is therefore an atheist."
Also, have you ever heard of Krauss?
The problem, as I understand it, is that Krauss actually envisions "nothing" as a sort of something that the universe was made from. I've not spent a lot of time on Krauss, but I gather than even other atheists have rejected his equivocation on this point.
Is this correct?
The thing is... we don't know what's beyond the Big Bang.
It can be the "nothing" which Krauss mentions.... and QCD then works well on top of that.
It can be a true absence of space-time, which leaves us completely blind as to how the Big Bang came into being.
It can be something else.... what it is, can't tell... better not assume stupid stuff.
