Stephen Hawking still doesn't believe in God

Stephen Hawking still doesn't believe in God, sort of

The gargantuan intellect that is Stephen Hawking, who has more letters after his name than in it, and who retired as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University only a year ago, has now more or less retired God as well.

He doesn’t have an actual replacement – yet - but when M-Theory is “proven”, Hawking believes that should kind of do it for God’s role in the universe.

For many years, the ultimate goal of science has been the Theory of Everything: The one comprehensive theory that will explain all the mysteries and apparent contradictions of physics in one fell swoop. Thirty years ago, Stephen Hawking proclaimed that such a theory was virtually around the corner, with a good chance of the new millennium seeing its discovery. But while the grand, unifying theory still remains a pipe-dream, Hawking is still attempting to explain away the many mysteries of science even without theory of everything. And without God, of course.

His latest book, The Grand Design, co-authored with Leonard Mlodinow, is his first book on popular science in 10 years. It spans the emergence of modern physics, and follows the path of relativity, quantum mechanics and various theories of cosmology, and even speculates on multiple universes as well. Its engaging and explanatory tone, and helpful illustrations, make the book an excellent introduction to theoretical physics for the layperson or for the science enthusiast. And, it also claims to answer the ultimate riddle of existence. Yeah, right.

The basis for this claim is the current favourite, superstring theory. String theory has gone through a distinct evolution of its own. In the 1990s, there were multiple explanations for it - as many as five! However, early on in the decade, scientists noticed that in conditions of low energy, transformation was making one mathematical theory look similar to another, which looked suspiciously as though they were two versions of the same theory. One of the string theories was even found to be the “double” of a theory that relates to membranes as well called 11-D supergravity. This theory of supergravity is considered to be one facet of the grand theory of everything, also called the M-theory.

And just to make it all the more impossible to grasp, the authors go on to declare that reality can only be explained by the means of a “model-dependent realism”, which holds that there are many windows to reality, but none of them is complete, and there is no reality which is independent of the theories that explain it. This would mean that there is no hope of finding a single unified theory after all - just a lot of different string theories.

But the authors use the term M-theory for the comprehensive mishmash of string theories as well. So while they aren’t sure whether a unified theory exists, they remain confident that the M-theory can explain the conundrums of life after all. Why we exist, why the universe follows a certain set of laws, why there is matter in the first place - all these, we are assured, can be answered using the M-theory, which means we don’t need the presence of God to answer any of these questions after all. A multiverse explained through string theory, and some anthropic reasoning could suffice.

This agnostic view may come as a shocker to a lot of people. Indeed, the fresh furore over The Grand Design has led to headlines splashed across the front pages of newspapers everywhere. The London Times proclaims “Hawking: God did not create universe”. But this is no new belief for Hawking, nor has his book decisively proven the non-existence of God. (For more reading on this subject, try Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and his response to the ultimate question. - Ed)

Hawking has been known for his controversial views on agnosticism and has claimed that he is not religious. At the end of his bestselling work, “A Brief History of Time”, he compares God to the laws of nature and says, “If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of reason – for then we should know the mind of God”. This view is, interestingly enough, similar to the one taken by Einstein, who famously quipped, “I cannot believe that God plays dice with the cosmos”. He was quoted as saying that the concept of a personal God is an anthropological idea, which he finds hard to fathom.

Hawking has often avoided controversy by stating his beliefs in similar terms. In 2001 he was quoted as saying he believes in science and believes there are certain fundamental laws that govern the universe. People might choose to believe the laws are God’s work, but in his opinion, the laws give a definition of God, but don’t really prove his existence.

Does the universe arise from scientific processes, or is it the work of God? Hawking’s answers might be ambivalent and his books might force us to question our beliefs, but one thing is clear: The issue is more important now than ever before.

The current furore over his “remarks” is a telling example of how God and religion are often intertwined with science in the public’s mind. Just think of the Higgs boson, a.k.a. the “God Particle” that has become so much a part of popular culture its apocalyptic potential forms the basis of Dan Brown’s novel, “Angels and Demons”, now a super-blockbuster movie starring Tom Hanks – and making megatons of money for everyone involved. Now, with Hawking’s book looming large in the public discourse, the centuries-old debate over science and religion is bound to get incandescent.

We’ll let you know if Heaven issues a media statement. DM

Stephen Hawking's Universe theory

Stephen Hawking's Universe theory
Stephen Hawking

Commentators discuss physicist Stephen Hawking's argument in his new book that science can explain the Universe's origin without invoking God, instead arguing that the existence of gravity means the Universe can create itself from nothing.

Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks says in the Times [subscription required] that Stephen Hawking's idea is both unoriginal and that he doesn't understand that religion and science answer different questions:

"What would we do for entertainment without scientists telling us, with breathless excitement, that 'God did not create the Universe', as if they were the first to discover this astonishing proposition? Stephen Hawking is the latest, but certainly not the first. When Napoleon asked Laplace, two hundred years ago, where was God in his scientific system, the mathematician replied, Je n'ai pas besoin de cette hypothèse. 'I do not need God to explain the Universe.' We never did. That is what scientists do not understand.

"There is a difference between science and religion. Science is about explanation. Religion is about interpretation. Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean. They are different intellectual enterprises."

In the New Scientist Roger Highfield dismisses the newness of the theory:

"Media furore over Stephen Hawking's new book, The Grand Design, has made it the biggest science news story of the day. But it's not like Hawking has suddenly given up a religious belief - let alone proved that God doesn't exist...

"As Hawking's long-suffering assistant dealt with a deluge of enquiries from journalists from around the world, she told me how the furore says more about the silly season than any change of mind. It also says much about how God is used to sell science to the public."

The Guardian imagines the relationship between Stephen Hawking and God:

"One accepts that if God were to choose one day to explain the universe to Hawking, the professor would be one of the few people on the planet with any serious chance of understanding the conversation. But spontaneous creation is, for most folk, just a contradiction in terms. God may or may not find all this amusing. The thing is - how to put this gently to Professor Hawking? - that God does not necessarily follow the ins and outs of our many arguments about His existence."
In the Catholic Herald Quentin de la Bedoyere argues that there is still a gap in Stephen Hawking's explanation of the creation of the Universe:

"Most particularly it would not touch the question of how something existing comes out from nothing. That is a question which science cannot answer, and will never answer, because nothingness is not within its domain. Hawking apparently does not address this question - which is the true and ultimate Theory of Everything."

In the Daily Mail John Lennox describes himself as a scientist and a Christian who teaches maths as Oxford university. He argues that Stephen Hawking is wrong to think they can't live alongside each other:

"Much of the rationale behind Hawking's argument lies in the idea that there is a deep-seated conflict between science and religion. But this is not a discord I recognise. "For me, as a Christian believer, the beauty of the scientific laws only reinforces my faith in an intelligent, divine creative force at work. The more I understand science, the more I believe in God because of my wonder at the breadth, sophistication and integrity of his creation.

"The very reason science flourished so vigorously in the 16th and 17th centuries was precisely because of the belief that the laws of nature which were then being discovered and defined reflected the influence of a divine law-giver."

In the Telegraph Graham Farmello is sceptical about the reasons behind scientists getting involved in the question of God:

"The science-religion relationship, in so far as there is one, continues to be a crowd-pleaser. It seems to be a fundamental law of PR that the God-science debate is a sure-fire source of publicity. Always welcome when one has a book to sell."

Stephen Hawking Says God Did Not Create the Universe

British physicist Stephen Hawking says God was not necessary for the creation of the universe, just as Charles Darwin eliminated the necessity of God from biology.

In an exclusive interview, the science monthly Eureka of The Times of London released Thursday excerpts from Hawking’s new book “The Grand Design.” He asks the question “Did the Universe need a creator?” in a book whose title seems to imply the intelligent design theory.

Hawking`s answer? No.

He says the Big Bang was the inevitable result of the laws of physics, not something explained by the hand of God or coincidence. “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 writes.”

“It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.”

His new book breaks from his previous views on religion expressed in his 1988 bestseller “A Brief History of Time.” Back then, he said God could co-exist with a scientific explanation of the universe, saying, “If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we should know the mind of God.”

Co-authored with American physicist Leonard Mlodinow, “The Grand Design” deconstructs the Newtonian view that the universe could not have risen out of chaos but was created by God.

Hawking said the first reason is the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting a star other than the sun.

“That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions – the single sun, the lucky combination of earth-sun distance and solar mass, far less remarkable, and far less compelling evidence that the earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings. Not just other planets like the earth, other universes may exist,” he said.
