The universe -- an accident????

An accident?

I just read on Yahoo News that Stephen Hawking recently wrote

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."


I hope the author of the piece has edited Hawking inappropriately. His conclusion begs the question (and I find it difficult to believe Hawking doesn't address it himself): Where did gravity come from (not to mention all the other natural laws which govern not only the earth but the universe)?

Today is the feast of St. Gregory the Great. He said:

Read the Scriptures and know God's mind.
