All Hawking is saying is that we do not need a 'god' to kickstart the Universe.
I am an atheist only because I do not believe in any man made religion. To put it simply I just do not believe in one god less than the rest of the multitude of gods people believe in!
I personally think we are all linked forever to the Universe that spawned us. We are inexorably linked through space and time through the very particles that make up our being.
We are all children of the stars and that includes super novae.

Men create Gods ..Gods do not create men.
One thing that ticks me off is how folk call in God if they have no explanation... I can tolerate calling in aliens to make crop circles with greater ease ...er thats the second tick off..calling in aliens to explain the unexplainable...
Dam it why cant folk just say... I have no answer ..I dont know....why fall back to magic and superstition.
ANYWAYS Prof Hawking should be beyond criticism or judgment from or by mere mortals and his views given absolute respect even if he is rambling incoherently he deserves no less ...he is a great and wonderful human that I would promote to the Pope as a candidate for sainthood.
