God did not create the universe, says Hawking

[youknowwho]

I strongly disagree. Hawking ignores a fundamental law of physics, known as cause and effect. I don't know if God created the Universe or not, but there is no such thing as spontaneous creation. There was an effect from some cause. Believing that it could have been a God would be more believable than it being spontaneous.

And don't forget that Hawking is not infallible, as demonstrated by his huge error on the black hole information paradox.

Causality (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

causality in physics is way more complex than that.

and in fact, "which cause caused the 'God' effect?" is the first question that comes in mind when you debunk the spontaneous theory with the same argument.
