Creation of the Universe: Who, Why and How?
“When it came to the creation of the Universe, God just wasn’t necessary.
That’s the conclusion renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has made in his latest tome, “The Grand Design,” set to hit book sellers next week.
“It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going,” Hawking writes, according to an excerpt featured in London’s The Times.
What about the age old belief by almost all Religions that only God Created this world and Universe?
Will you agree with the latest discovery or stick to old beliefs about creation of the Universe and World?

Edit:
Stephen Hawking has not said anything about existence of God. He only said that God has not created the Universe.
Nothing was created .everything existed always in some form or other.matter continues to change and never ceases to exist .Nothing can be created out of nothing .Anything can e made out of something only.
A doll or a pot can be created out of a lump of clay.The doll or the pot is created ; but not the clay.the clay used to create the doll can be used to create the pot and vice versa. But the clay is not created out of a doll or a pot .
So nobody ; but nature, created the universe and nature is the quality of God and God is not a person. But a person can be the avatar of God like a Pot or a Doll can be an avatar of clay That is the clay taking an avatar of pot or doll.Whatever avatar it takes , it remains clay!.
Please see Stephen Hawking’s latest book “The Grand Design” wherein he has departed from his earlier theory and stated that God did not create the universe !
The underlying fact that is yet to be realized by all is, that God can not also be created . If what exists for ever without regard to time and is for eternity , with no beginning and no end , is God . it is, what we call the cosmos ,the galaxies and all that we call the universe etc of which we are also parts, is that. That is God . .
The birth and death of beings that we see in our daily life , is part of the magic , the Maya of this universe .If you read Bhagavad -gita , it is the cosmos that Sri.Krishna shows as the totality ( viswaroopa ) of God , in response to Arjuna’s request to show him the God .God is not created .There had never been a time when God , the cosmos did not exist . and there can never be a time when God would cease to exist .The cosmos (God ) was not created . God did not create himself too.God existed and exists for ever .But there has always been a time when God was not understood .It is still not understood .
I have added to this answer after seeing a report on the latest book of Stephen Hawkings ,at page 11 of the Chennai Edition of the English daily “The Hindu” today ( 3rd Sept’ 2010)
Sage Vyasa’s Bhagavad-Gita has has stated even some 6000 years ago what Stephen Hawking has done to day.
