Oh no....... not John Lennox.

"But contrary to what Hawking claims, physical laws can never provide a complete explanation of the universe. Laws themselves do not create anything, they are merely a description of what happens under certain conditions." (from the article)
Utter bullshit. Since when does "creation" in the sense of things coming from physical laws, require agency? It has already been found in science that these laws have effects, results. To 1. Require specifically God as an explanation for the universe, and to 2. Require an explanation for the universe but not an explanation for God himself.... both these things are special pleading.
