Hawking says there is no need for a god!

The Telegraph in the UK quotes Stephen Hawking saying "It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going." His new book to be released this month is titled The Grand Design.

 

Wow! The blogs are singing! One of England's greatest minds has just told the world there is no reason for a God. Everyone is now blubbering all over themselves that there must be a reason for the universe. Why else would we be here?

 

I, for one, have been quite happy for many years in the knowledge that we are just one big happy accident and there is no purpose for the universe except that which we make of it.

 

So, we no longer have an excuse to do nothing while waiting to be saved from our own mistakes and laziness by a sky daddy. Go out and live your lives and enjoy what you have. You will cease to exist one day and the universe will keep on being -- until it is not. Should it cease to exist one day, we will not know, since we won't exist either.
