Professor Stephen Hawking is wrong to say that God didn’t start the universe, believes an Oxford University maths professor. Prof John Lennox, a Christian academic who has debated Richard Dawkins three times, challenges Hawking’s theory that gravity created the universe all on its own in his new book God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design is it Anyway?
Lennox says: ‘If the mathematics is very beautiful and very elegant one can think, “Well, that’s got to be true”, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be true.’ He adds that life, as well as the universe, shows signs of God’s design, particularly DNA, because ‘inanimate matter, on its own, doesn’t give rise to that kind of complexity’. DNA is ‘a bit like the singularity of the Big Bang… Where God did something special.’
