Sci. 4I (I990), 473-49I Printed n GreatBritain I INTRODUCTION Scientists working n the field ofcosmology eemto be irresistibly rawnby the lureofphilosophy. NowStephenHawking has followed he leadofFred Hoyle, Carl Sagan, RobertJastrow, and P. C. W. Davies in speculatingon what philosophical mplicationsurrent osmological models have for he existence of God. Although hisrecent, popular est-seller A Brief History of Time 19 88] is refreshinglyreeof the acrimony hat characterized he works of some of his predecessors,ne stillmightcomeawaywith the impressionhat Hawking s no more sympathetico theism han they were.A recent article on Hawking's book n the German abloid Stern, forexample,headlined, Kein Platz urden liebenGott', and concluded, In his systemof thoughtthere is no roomfor a Creator God. Not that God s dead: God never existed'l This impressions no doubtabetted by the fact that the bookcarries an introduction Sagan, in which he writes, This s also a book about God . . or perhaps bout he absence of God. Theword God illsthesepages.Hawking mbarks n a questto answer Einstein'samous question about whether God hadanychoice n creating he universe. Hawkings attempting, as he explicitly tates, to understand he mind of God.And this makes all the more unexpected he conclusionof the effort, at least so far:a universe withno edge n space, no beginningnor endin time,andnothing ora Creator o do. (p. x) Stern (undated photocopy), p. 209. 'In seinem Gedankengebaudeist fur einen schopferischen Gott kein Raum. Gott ist nicht einmal tot, Gott ha t nie existiert.'
