It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
To boldly go where no one has gone before
Stephen Hawking
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.
Stephen Hawking
TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking
My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.
Stephen Hawking
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
Stephen Hawking
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking
The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty.
Stephen Hawking
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.
Stephen Hawking
All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.
Stephen Hawking
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. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.
Stephen Hawking
Nothing cannot exist forever.
Stephen Hawking
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Stephen Hawking
The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.
Stephen Hawking
If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.
Stephen Hawking
If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
Stephen Hawking
I don't fear God- I fear His believers.
Stephen Hawking
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
Stephen Hawking
If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would try to pass them.
Stephen Hawking
One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist.....Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist
Stephen Hawking
I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition.
Stephen Hawking
