Stephen Hawking stands up to God. Figuratively, that is.
It appears that über genius Stephen Hawking has officially lost his mind. Hawking said: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.”

According to our good friends across the pond at The Telegraph UK:
Stephen Hawking is a chick magnet. Or maybe they're just drawn to him by gravity.
In his latest book, The Grand Design, an extract of which is published in Eureka magazine in The Times, Hawking said: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.”
He added: “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.”
Got that? Gravity, a force that can only be created by matter, created the matter that then created the gravity that could not have existed before the matter but all the same created the universe. Remember, kids, this is the man that thinks you’re stupid for believing in God.
However, as good science is all about competing theories we’d like to posit one of our own.
Perhaps Dr. Hawking hasn’t really lost his mind. Perhaps all his recent talk of bellicose, time traveling space aliens and a universe created by illogic is merely a ruse. A clever ruse intended to raise the cosmologist’s cachet with the general public and finally get him a shot at appearing on Dancing with the Stars.
