The opinion of leading British scientist, Stephen Hawking, who ignore God's role in the creation of the universe is not completely opposed. Colleagues at the University of Cambridge think Hawking may misinterpret God as described in the scriptures.
"The term God is trying to reveal Stephen Hawking is not God the creator as it is believed to Abraham, which is the best explanation to explain why something exists," says Denis Alexander, Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Friday (9/3/2010).
According to him, the term God is the embodiment Hawking said that fills the gaps in science that has not been revealed. In fact, the view of science and religious belief are different. He argues, science to explain something with a great narrative about the occurrence of something, while theology is the meaning of these narratives.
Fraser Watts, an Anglican priest and historian of science from Cambridge, said the existence of the universe is not evidence for the existence of God. "God as Creator is the most reasonable explanation and credible to find out why the universe exists, and no opinion makes more sense if God exists than nothing. This view does not yield to what Hawking explained," he said.
In his latest book titled The Grand Design that will soon be published on September 9 in England, Hawking is convinced that the "M-Theory", a form of string theory, could explain the creation of the universe. According to him, the universe could be created spontaneously due to the laws of gravity. "No need to carry the Lord as if He who sparked the creation of the universe," Hawking writes.
