God NOT Needed For Creation. God Did Not Create the Universe and Physics Leaves No Room For God...
The future of the universe is not completely determined by the laws of science, and its present state, as Laplace thought.
God still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
God not only plays dice. He sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary. [Stephen W. Hawking, Der Spiegel, 1989]
Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. It is not necessary to invoke God to... set the Universe going.
Godel and the End of Physics (written in 2002)
"In this talk, I want to ask how far can we go in our search for understanding and knowledge. Will we ever find a complete form of the laws of nature? By a complete form, I mean a set of rules that in principle at least enable us to predict the future to an arbitrary accuracy, knowing the state of the universe at one time. A qualitative understanding of the laws has been the aim of philosophers and scientists, from Aristotle onwards."
My Life in Physics (written in 2006)
"I did my first degree in Oxford. In my final examination, I was asked about my future plans. I replied, if you give me a first class degree, I will go to Cambridge. If I only get a second, I will stay in Oxford. They gave me a first. I arrived in Cambridge as a graduate student in October 1962."
The Origin of the Universe (written in 2005)
"Why are we here? Where did we come from? The answer generally given was that humans were of comparatively recent origin, because it must have been obvious, even at early times, that the human race was improving in knowledge and technology. So it can't have been around that long, or it would have progressed even more."
The Beginning of Time (written in 1996)
"In this lecture, I would like to discuss whether time itself has a beginning, and whether it will have an end. All the evidence seems to indicate, that the universe has not existed forever, but that it had a beginning, about 15 billion years ago. This is probably the most remarkable discovery of modern cosmology. Yet it is now taken for granted. We are not yet certain whether the universe will have an end."
The Nature of Space and Time
Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose gave a series of 3 lectures each at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge. The full series is available in a book of the same name. Here we have compiled Stephen's contribution to the series, as well as the final debate. This is available for download as pdfformat or 4 postscript files or (penrose1.pspenrose2.pspenrose3.pspenrose4.ps).
Space and Time Warps (written in 1999)
"In science fiction, space and time warps are a commonplace. They are used for rapid ارلزourneys around the galaxy, or for travel through time. But today's science fiction, is often tomorrow's science fact. So what are the chances for space and time warps."
Does God Play Dice (written in 1999)
"This lecture is about whether we can predict the future, or whether it is arbitrary and random. In ancient times, the world must have seemed pretty arbitrary. Disasters such as floods or diseases must have seemed to happen without warning or apparen t reason. Primitive people attributed such natural phenomena, to a pantheon of gods and goddesses, who behaved in a capricious and whimsical way. There was no way to predict what they would do, and the only hope was to win favour by gifts or actions."
Life in the Universe (written in 1996)
"In this talk, I would like to speculate a little, on the development of life in the universe, and in particular, the development of intelligent life. I shall take this to include the human race, even though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."
Inflation: An Open and Shut Case (April '98)
This talk is based on joint work with Professor Hawking and Professor Turok, at Cambridge. Professor Turok was a proponent of open inflation. This is the idea that the universe is infinitely large, and of low density, despite having been through a period of exponential expansion, in the very early stages. Professor Hawking explains his owns views on this subject and on recent developments in the area.
Gravitational Entropy (June '98)
In this talk Professor Hawking explains some of the past events that have developed an understanding of gravitational entropy. He goes on to explain the present state of the field.
Quantum Cosmology, M-theory and the Anthropic Principle (January '99).
This talk is based on Professor Hawking carried out work with Neil Turok and Harvey Reall. He describes what he sees as the framework for quantum cosmology, on the basis of M theory. He adopts the no boundary proposal, and argues that the Anthropic Principle is essential, if one is to pick out a solution to represent our universe, from the whole zoo of solutions allowed by M theory.
Rotation, Nut Charge and Anti de Sitter Space (February '99).
Professor Hawking carried out the work in this lecture in collaboration with Chris Hunter and Marika Taylor Robinson at Cambridge, and Don Page at Alberta. He describes what he sees as the problems with previous interpretations of this black hole equilibria and goes on to offer what he sees as a more useful interpretation.
Stability of AdS and phase transitions August '99
Black holes are often thought of as completely dead classically. That is they absorb, but do not give out, radiation and energy. In this lecture, first given at the Strings '99 conference, in Potsdam, Germany, Professor Hawking explains that this is not necessarily the case.
The Future of Quantum Cosmology September '99
In this lecture, an updated version of 'Quantum Cosmology, M-theory and the anthropic principle', Professor Hawking again describes what he sees as the framework for quantum cosmology. This lecture was first given at the NATO ASI conference, in Cambridge. a
خودش را از تا نیانداخت و نمونه ای افسانه ای از زیستن و امید به زندگی است ــ 
استیفن هاوکینگ پیشتر در کتاب «خلاصه ای از تاریخ زمان» نوشته بود که قوانین فیزیک ثابت می‌کند که اصلا لزومی ندارد که خدا را در مسئله آفرینش کهکشان دخالت داد. (این دو مقوله جدا از هم هستند.) 
فتم: دست خدا از آستین قانونمندی ها بیرون می‌آید. شما روی مکانیزمها و چگونگی ها می‌ایستی، من از چراها حرف می‌زنم. علم با همه شکوه و زیبایی اش تنها از پس مکانیزمها و چگونگی ها برمی‌آید. 
کسانی هم هستند که به تنظیم‌شده بودن جهان و آفرینش‌گرایی می‌خندند و همانند «ریچارد داوکینز» Clinton Richard Dawkins تفسیر خاص خودشان را دارند. 
شروع کرد – سازمانها اصطلاحا به اینها می‌گویند بریده و یا جداشده و یا مزدور و..... با این تفاوت که آن سازمان هرگز در نظر نمی‌گیرد که انسانی که راه را انتخاب می‌کند، صاحب این حق است که مسیر خود را هم عوض کند، البته اگر به a رجعت کند بی شک عملی «ارتجاعی» کرده‌است.
