Stephen Hawking concluded that since time was created at the same time as the universe, then there wasn't time for God to have created the universe. I have some serious questions for Stephen. Why should God have to be limited to time? If God created the universe and time with it, He is outside of time. "Outside of time" defines eternal. Guess what? God just so happens to be eternal!
I think if Stephen did some reading he would have bumped into this quote by C.S. Lewis, which says:
"If you picture Time as a straight line along which we have to travel, then you must picture God as the whole page on which the line is drawn."
God is not confined to time no more than paper is confined to a line. If we limit God to time then we are limiting God in a big way. Stephen is limiting God to being governed by the laws of the universe. He is trying to disprove God by limiting the aspects of God. C.S. Lewis also addressed this when he said:
"If there was a controlling power outside the universe, it could not show itself to us as one of the facts inside the universe-no more than the architect of a house could actually be a wall or staircase or fireplace in that house."
Stephen Hawking is trying to making his claims superior to his Creator. Lots of the scientific claims he stated take just as much faith to believe in as God. He is making every possible claim he can to disprove God even when there is no proof to back any of it up.
Imagine this: If God was the Author of a story book, one character in that book could ask another, "Who made you?" The other character would say that the Author (God) made him. In the same sense it would be unfair for the same character to be asked, "Where did God come from?" because the character can't understand everything about the Author, for the Author isn't in the story book itself.
Because of this, we cannot expect to understand God like you understand Oprah or your parents. Just because Oprah couldn't exist outside of space and time doesn't mean God couldn't have. Just because your mom or dad couldn't have created the universe doesn't mean God couldn't have. The Creator is far greater than the created. I don't have to be a science whiz to know that.
None of what Stephen Hawking stated can be proved valid, he isn't giving God a chance and I honestly feel sorry for him. If he is trying to take advantage of people's ignorance then he must have some serious problems to work out, because if he gave Christianity a chance he wouldn't have to.
I encourage everyone who reads this to pray for Steven Hawking's salvation. Pray that he finds God and that he will be an example for all the atheists who look up to him. Look at C.S Lewis's life. He was an atheist until age 33 and now he is known as one of the best Christian writers of all time. He studied Christianity so much that he wrote books about it.
I knew next to nothing about Christianity when I started this blog. After I started reading the Bible I had a lot more to write about but I still had questions. Over the summer I started reading a lot about Christianity and I had a major boost in faith, the more I read, the more I trusted and loved God. God calls us to trust Him like a child but He doesn't call us to have the ignorance of a child. God kept providing me with more material to read and He will do the same with you if you ask. If you want to learn more about the God you serve, He isn't going to keep you from that. God has nothing to hide. I do encourage you to read the Bible first so you can compare it to everything you learn.
I will conclude this post by stating that GOD DID CREATE THE UNIVERSE. Stephen Hawking would know that if he didn't mistake the Architect of the universe for a mere wall.
