He died today

Gotta love a smart guy saying smart things we can all understand

Again, when a physicist asserts God, they are referring to the caretaker god, If one wishes to call the big bang the act of pure energy or god then that is good.
Most people see god as a caretaker whereby they can ask for a new toy and then when it comes it was god who did it.

I guess being an agnostic, I am unwelcome on a sight called agnostic.com...

Actually, cosmologists have known this for sometime. And I agree with it. It is interesting to me that the Catholic church (which puts on a facade of accepting science and scientific inquire these days) discourages exploration in these topics.

Stephen Hawking never said that, EXTRACT ....universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we would know the mind of God.” get your facts right please,

I admire and respect Hawking's scientific achievements and his insights on scientific matters, but I don't think he has anymore knowledge or information on god that me or anyone else, although his opinion is interesting. (IMHO)

Of course not

I prefer...I don't know.

Sounds good to me...
