I wonder if the WTBS ever quoted from him based on his prior belief.

I think his comments have been misunderstood. Einstein also used the word 'god' but that doesn't mean he believed in a personal creator.

YES! Public watchtower August 1st! This is going to be a classic!
Maybe you should ask a dub what they think of Stepehn Hawking and then point out the watchtower quote him as a reputable source!
Classic!

What Hawking is suggesting is essentially a self-creating series of universes to eternity without an external source of power.
It violates the laws of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy.
The theologist would say the universe requires the outside influence of a God-Creator.
The conventional cosmologist would say that there was an unknown outside source of order prior to the big bang, and that the universe is slowly winding down, and the entropy (disorder) of the universe is slowly increasing.
Hawking has been getting further and further outside established science for some time now. He is tolerated more as a celebrity than as a contributing physicist these days.

Ah dude, theories are theories and Hawkins has a great imagination and the intelligence to "justify" that imagination with some pretty cool theories.
It's all good.

Yeah. You hear what he said about aliens being hostile? Hawking's, well, he's getting to be an old man.
I think he's a total sell-out. Every other month, a new book that's essentially the same damn thing repacked over and over...
Oh wait, that's Stephen KING, not Stephen HAWKing.
