I saw the video. I think it was Stephen Hawking master of the Universe first episode. He said it publically. He said if the science created the universe then we don't need God. That is all there is to this argument. Mitch Raemsch

That is > all there is to this argument. > > Mitch Raemsch- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - I just watched the YouTube version of "Master of the Universe". At around 2:20 of Part 1, he asks the question "Do we still need a God?". And that's as close as he gets to what you say he said. The context of his question is in relation to understanding the nature of the Universe. From the context, I understand this to mean, paraphrasing, that a supernatural deity may be unnecessary to understanding the physical nature of the Universe. This is also what I get from what I have read. This is quite different from your assertion. Unless you can cite something more substantial than "I saw it", then I agree you have nothing more to add. |
