The Argument Against Stephen Hawking

I looked at the document, where Stephen Hawking tried to scientifically explain to viewers that God exists. His story began by faith in the Creator and religious superstition built on one level.

As an example, the Vikings held belief that a solar eclipse caused the wolf to devour the sun and they chased him screaming to escape. Now they know that the eclipse is nothing supernatural, and we describe it scientifically. When talking about their mistakes rather medieval tactically concealed the fact that the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe does not come from the Bible, but from the Greek philosopher Ptolemy, and also did not mention either that in the Middle Ages more read Plato’s writings as the Bible, which was under read banned the death penalty and some, like Tyndale, paid his life for having it translated into national languages. Although Hawking mentioned scientific progress, but he missed that one occurred mostly in those countries where the Reformation spread with Bible translations in national languages.

Furthermore, Hawking explains that the universe is a machine governed by the laws and those laws can, and argues that each new discovery of God pushed further into the background. I agree with Hawking that there are natural laws, but I disagree with the conclusion that it denies God – the Creator.

Here is an example from everyday life. Suppose you get someone from a car I’ve ever seen, I do not know where it is doirat truck comes and I do not know what mechanism causes the works. If I was superstitious, I think that it launched there any good people and driven some magic. Then comes a mechanic (scientist) and explain to me how a car works and that it is not no magic, but it is a machine controlled by physical laws that can explain the mechanics but also knows where this car came from. This means that we’ll automatically start to believe that this vehicle has no constructor?

On the other hand, I begin to admire the unknown designer much more than when I did not understand how his creation works.

Also – is that the universe has laws that science can describe, does not mean that no designer who created it. And since Islam and Judeo – Christian faith believes in God, that God is order and not chaos, it is understandable that the universe he created is controlled by laws and not messy.
