Hawking Says God Not Needed for Creation
September 3, 2010 at 1:10pm
Belle, why should science (or rational people for that matter) believe in divine creation? There is no empirical evidence to support this view, and those who have blind faith, instead of healthy skepticism, are suffering from some sort of mass delusion. Hawking is correct that God is not needed for the creation of the universe.
Now, I certainly think that everyone is entitled to their own world view, and those who insist on the need for a “higher power” certainly have a right to live in their own fantasy world. Personally, I don’t need a higher power to make my life better. I control me, and my self control is much more stable and powerful than an invisible power in the sky.
Once, humans depended on many gods to explain their world, then they evolved and narrowed it down to one god. Eventually, the species will evolve past the need of any god to explain that which is.
