Agreed. There are few things more belligerently ignorant than claiming the laws of physics as observed today predate the universe, especially knowing the laws of physics were different at the beginning of the universe in Planck time.

Then how did the universe come to be, if there was absolutely nothing 'preceding' it? I know this is highly speculative conjecture, but regardless... Hawking seems to argue that because of these laws it means a universe can come from absolute nothing without a cause.
