God isn't neccessary

some times ago,I read "A breif history of time", for me a question was that why Mr.Hawking discussion about God,I beleives god and science is two subject that utter seprate each other,I thinking about this matter to Mr.Hawking published this paper:
Stephen Hawking: God isn't necessary
Associated Press
LONDON -- Did creation need a creator?

British physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking says no, arguing in his new book that there need not be a God behind the creation of the universe.

The concept is explored in "The Grand Design," excerpts of which were printed in the British newspaper The Times on Thursday. The book, written with fellow physicist Leonard Mlodinow, is scheduled to be published by Bantam Press on Sept. 9.

"The Grand Design," which the publishers call Hawking's first major work in nearly a decade, challenges Isaac Newton's theory God must have been involved in creation because our solar system couldn't have come out of chaos simply through nature.

But Hawking says it isn't that simple. To understand the universe, it's necessary to know both how and why it behaves the way it does, calling the pursuit "the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything."

Hawking, who is renowned for his work on black holes, said the 1992 discovery of another planet orbiting a star other than the sun makes "the coincidences of our planetary conditions ... far less remarkable and far less compelling as evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings."

In his best-selling 1988 book "A Brief History of Time," Hawking appeared to accept the possibility of a creator, saying the discovery of a complete theory would "be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God."

But "The Grand Design" seems to step away from that, saying physics can explain things without the need for a "benevolent creator who made the Universe for our benefit."

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing," the excerpt says. "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to ... set the Universe going."

Hawking retired last year as the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge University after 30 years in the position. The position was once held by Newton.

THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA

the "THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA " is a book for new sight and new life,because this book result reflection of neitzsche after many years,I elect some intresting quotes in this book (though all this book full of the intresting quotes):
  • God is conjecture : But I should like your conjecturing restricted to the conceivable.
  • creating-that is the great solvation from suffering and life's alleviation.
  • If there were god , how could I endure it to be no God ! therefore are no Gods.
  • The people gave ye served and the people's superstitions-not the truth!-all ye famous wise one!and just on that account did they pay you reverence.
  • But he who is hated by the people-as the wolf by the dog-is the free spirit,the enemy of  fetters,the non-adorer,the dwellers in the wood.
  • hungry,fierce,lonesome,God-forsaken : so doth the lion will wish itself.
  • In the wilderness have ever dwelt the conscientious,the free spirit,as lord of wilderness; But in the cities dwell the well-foddered,famous wise one-the draught-beasts;for always,do they draw,as asses-the people' carts.
  • Two different thing wanteth the true man: danger and diversion;therefor wanteth he woman,as the most dangerous plaything.
  • many never become sweet;they rot even in the summer.it is cowardice that holdeth them fast to their branches.far too many live,and far to hang long they on their branches.would that the storm came and shook all this rotteness and worm-eatenmess from the tree.
  • The consummating death I show unto you,which becometh stimulus and promise to the living.His death,death the consummating one triumphantly,sorrounded by hoping and promising ones.
