Fold Up The Tents

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.

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

Stephen Hawking 

In the all out war against God, the newest volley fired His way is from Hawking. A renowned physicist who wrote the well received A Brief History of Time . He is no doubt a very smart man . That being said , is he not a perfect example of what Paul tells us in Romans 1: 21-23.

[21] For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools, [23] and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 

Physics was never one of my favorite subjects . Further I cannot say science was a big love of mine. Although  I did enjoy biology . So what can I say against such a great intellect. Well I can say this . Hawkings , for all his smarts , brings with him a world view that denies the Creator. That in his heart , darkened with sin , he will form any theory to run or escape from the reality of God. For he knows that if there is a God , then he owes his very existence to him. If there is a God , then he is also accountable to him for his actions. 

Just read the first part of what he said. The law of gravity , sense it exist, allows the Universe the ability to create itself from nothing. A couple of questions come to mind. How does he know gravity existed prior to creation . Then how can gravity cause out of nothing , something to come into existence. If  gravity existed , then that in itself meant something existed . The last time I checked , out of nothing ,nothing comes.

I'm sure in the book coming out called The Grand Design , Hawkings will elaborate and enter into fields of meta-physics and philosophy .  It will dazzle those who hate God , as I once did , but God will remain . As the Psalmist said , the fool says in his heart , there is no God .So unless God grants  repentance to Hawkings , and he sees his sinfulness before a holy God , need for Jesus Christ , he will die in his sins .

Perhaps the the turning against even the possibility of God , which he played with in the past , is a judgement on him now , as God is giving him over to his own sinful desires. Even  the smartest people , sin corrupts. Hawkings is no different in his heart , in love with sin and against his Creator , than a lowly janitor . All are in need of God's grace . May he repent before death , or then he will realize who created all the universe .
