Physics Proves THERE IS NO GOD!

OK, so I'm exaggerating. Theoretical Physics is, well, theoretical. But if the SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD says that "God" wasn't needed to form the Universe...

Then I'm thinking everyone should listen to the world's smartest man.

Stephen Hawking's newest book, "The Grand Design," states that the idea of a creator of the universe is redundant.

Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.

Thank you, Stephen Hawking. You were a hold out on rock solid atheism for a long time, always bordering on agnosticism. So, for this, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

And as I warned in my previous post... Don't bother reading the user comments on news articles like this. They will just make you sad. People can believe in a God or witches or fairies or the Loch Ness Monster if it makes them happy. I just don't think it's a very logical or reasonable belief and I don't like it when wars are fought and people are oppressed over it.
