Stephan Hawking's Mistake III But...

Stephan Hawking went to Caltech to tell them we don't need a "God" to explain the origin of the universe. This blog contains two responses to previous statements by Mr. Hawking in 2010 and 2011. But this time I want to point to the more positive side of his views.

He plainly states the Judeo-Christian view of creation - creation came out of nothing. The traditional philosophical term for this is "ex nihilo". He says that the early attempts to explain the universe as a "steady-state" or a cyclical "expansion and contraction" have been discredited. But like most atheists he really rejects the word with the letters g, o, d because of some personal emotional or spiritual misunderstanding or problem. Again, nothing gives nothing. And again, Aristotle humbly faced this logic and simply said that there must be an "uncaused cause".
