Ah, yes, the late Hawking. I love hearing him say "there is no god" in that robotic voice of his. That must sound so ominous to theists. Anyway, as he points out, the dimensions, including the familiar three spatial dimensions and the one familiar temporal dimension (time), were created at the instant of the Big Bang. God couldn't have caused that because he, well, didn't have time to.
I can do theists a favor and mention possibilities like our universe existing inside a blackhole in a mother universe but there's no point as there are countless other ways to disprove the classic gods (yes you can prove a negative). After you've seen enough from the scientific perspective, enough for it to be impossible for you to believe in a god even if you wanted to, at a certain point you look back and laugh at yourself for even needing all this, for ever even seeing any question as to shit like whether or not there were talking snakes. It's scary how collectively mentally ill we are as a species. It's the fear of death. That's literally all. If science cured aging, religion wouldn't even survive another two generations.
why are you atheist? why are you theist?
