Did God Create the Universe?

I just finished watching 'Did God Create the Universe' on the Discovery Channel. It is based on Steven Hawking's theories about the beginning of the universe and questions the existence of God. I have always believed in the magnificence of the human mind; it’s ability to think, contemplate upon observations of the world around us and devise mathematical equations to express the logical, beautiful, simplicity of its natural laws. I have always felt that Steven Hawking, while trapped in a cruel body, was a genius blessed with the ability to spend all his time in great thought. Seeing his ideas about the beginning of the universe and understanding his belief that because time began with the Big Bang there can be no God. Let me say with utmost and sincere feeling: “WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!”


 TIME???? THAT’S YOUR CONCLUSION?????

I realize that you have been trapped in a body that refuses to perform in a normal way, but don't let that box you in by only considering four dimensions? Several scientists have speculated on the existence of dimensions outside of the dimension of time. I thought I read somewhere that some scientist had actually discovered a sixth dimension?

Please consider this: How does a person with an inferior mind, an inferior education, a limited intelligence and limited access to time for serious thought understand what Mr. Hawking seems to have missed? Yes, I am a Christian, but I also embrace science and if you’re going to present an idea or theory to contradict the existence of God, please make it something that is scientifically accurate. It would take a Viking to not consider that God is (I believe the word is) non-corporeal or outside the boundaries of time. Really, Mr. Hawking, think about this and get back with me, I’d like to hear a real answer. One that doesn’t make fun of the church for something as stupid as claiming a natural law of God as heresy. Just because he was the Pope don’t make him a genius.

I think it is sad that a man living such a limited life here on earth; who has the ability to dream such great and powerful dreams and is able to influence so many people is willing to through away the possibility of receiving a new, whole body in a Heaven simply because he is not open minded enough to believe that our world and the time we live in was created by an omniscient, loving God. No your condition is not because God hates you, and the only curse you are under is the same one we are all under as members of this world. And, yes, life is unfair, but didn’t your parents tell you this world isn’t fair? God promises that he loves us and that if we believe in the saving power of his son, we will be set free. Though I have to admit the thing I am most often set free from is myself.

I will always pray for you Steven. And you may never agree with me (remember God granted you free will to think and decide for yourself), but that’s just the way I see it.

God bless you!
