BUT even Steven Hawkins and MOST OF THE 99% of scientists at his level, say that a cogintion IS NOT required as a starting point.Please don't pull imaginary figures out of your arse. Hawking has theories that many scientists agree with, and he had other ideas considered extreme by most scientists. Your assertion makes it sound as if all the top cosmologists in the world think in one direction - they do not. Hawking essentially relies on string theory being absolute truth to be able to assert that an expanding universe inevitably creates matter from nothing. Einstein would turn in his grave if he heard Hawking's explanation for the beginning of the universe.
"Most of the 99%"? that doesn't even make sense - do you mean "most of the scientists at his level" or "99% of the scientists at his level"?
Most scientists don't know anything about String Theory, so how do you claim that so many of them not just accept it as the Gospel truth but also accept the theory that Hawking puts forward about the origin of the universe? Only a relatively small number of physicists study it to begin with. String theory is not falsifiable, so plenty of scientists dismiss it outright as pseudoscience.
