Quote by Stephen Hawking

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.

Summary

This quote, attributed to physicist Stephen Hawking, suggests that the concept of God as a necessary creator of the universe is unnecessary. Hawking argues that it is possible for the origin of the universe to be explained solely by the laws of science. While this does not dismiss the possibility of the existence of God, it implies that God is not required to explain the beginning of the universe. In essence, Hawking's assertion highlights the potential for scientific explanations to provide alternative perspectives on the origins of the universe without the need for divine intervention.

One of the most important of lifeÂ´s lessons is to learn independance, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourrishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency.
