RenownedBritish scientist Stephen Hawking, writing in a soon-to-be-published book, theorizes that God did notcreatetheuniverse.
Instead, thetheoreticalphysicistargues that theoriginof the universe, explained in modern science by the "Big Bang" theory, was theinevitableconsequenceof the laws of physics.
Excerptsfrom Hawking'sforthcomingThe Grand Design appeared Thursday in the British newspaper The Times.
Hawking writes that "because there is a law such asgravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.Spontaneouscreation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist."
The Grand Design isscheduledforreleaseSeptember 9 - one week before Pope Benedict's visit to Britain.
The excerptssparkedan almost immediaterebuttalfrom Rabbi Jonathan Henry Sacks, thespiritualhead of Britain's largest synagogue body.
The rabbi refers to a widelyperceived"mutualhostility" between religion and science as, in his words, "one of thecursesof our age." He also warns that such hostility is "damaging to both religion and science in equalmeasure."
Scientist and educator George Ellis, the president of the International Society for Science and Religion, is quoted as saying his biggest problem with Hawking's theories is that they present the public with "a choice -either science or religion."
