Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the universe

Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the universe
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/scien...verse.html

Quote:In his latest book, The Grand Design, Hawking said: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.”

He added: “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.”

So according to Hawking, because of the law of gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing and the Big Bang was the inevitable result of the laws of physics.

I would like to get hold of his new book and find out how he reaches these conclusions.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
