One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
I do not believe in a personal God.
Stephen Hawking
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
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
Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
Stephen Hawking
Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations.
Stephen Hawking
If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.
Stephen Hawking
The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
Stephen Hawking
A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.
Stephen Hawking
Women. They are a complete mystery.
Stephen Hawking
Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.
Stephen Hawking
The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.
Stephen Hawking
Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen Hawking
Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Maxwell is the physicist's physicist.
Stephen Hawking
It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
Stephen Hawking
We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking
