Stephen Hawking Continues Chasing a Universe Without God, Self-Created in Fact

by Brian Kelly September 02nd, 2010

The contradiction in the following quote from his new book proves that the greatest mathematician can fail to translate equations into basic logic.

“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.”

Gravity can be measured and has been; the first to do so was Isaac Newton. If you care to know the mathematical law you can look it up. But there would be no “law” without existing material things subject to it, which are obviously measurable. What we observe, which Hawking’s denies, is the law that the Creator established in creating things, as the Book of Wisdom says, according to measure, number and weight. Hawking asserts that an existing “something,” namely the law of gravity, gives the universe the potential to “create itself from nothing.” I am not going to comment further. A grade school student, who has no scientific knowledge of logic, could see the self-evident absurdity of this blatant contradiction. As scripture says, “The fool says in his heart there is no God.” And only a fool could miss the non-equation that would follow such a statement as non-being “creating itself” into being. One cannot form any true conclusions from logical reasoning if one’s first principle denies the first law of contradiction, the self-evident principle of identity: Nothing can be and not be at the same time.

The media will just lap up what he says regardless of his bad philosophy because his conclusion–that God doesn’t exist–serves to justify the moral abyss and selfishness that are part and parcel of their agenda. after all, if some big wig scientist–the new high priests of atheist secular church– says that God doesn’t exist than it justifies their whole agenda, everything from gay marriage, abortion and contraception wo whatever else they might dream up in the name of progress.

Make no bones about it secular humanism/atheism is a religion in its own right. I often thought of scientists as the new high priests, their labs being the “churches” where sacrifices are carried out, their spokesman being the media and the elite. Instead of encyclicals in Latin they have scientific journals written in unintelligible insider jargon passed down to us commoners in rags like Newsweek and Time magazine.

Just for fun’. Thought you might enjoy…..

“Singing Hymns to Gravity”

Stephen Hawking has been talking,
Hawking Faith in what’s unseen;
Rub the lamp and there you have it!
We can see just what he means!

Yep, no Deity is needed,
Nope, now God need not apply.
Church of Po-Mo Speculation:
“Just So” stories in the sky.

Humanism’s same ol’ same ol’,
Trace it back to Babel’s Tow’r….
Scientism’s Holy Temple,
Deconstruction’s finest hour.
