Do Gravitons Exist?

Do Gravitons Exist?
According to Wikipedia, gravitons are hypothetical elementary particles, so when I wrote about them in my novel, I treated them as such. But now I'm reading Hawking's Brief History of Time where he speaks of gravitons as if they really exist. I'd give Hawking a lot more credibility than Wikipedia, but maybe you can provide the synthesis for this seeming thesis/antithesis polemic.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
--Voltaire

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
