Hawking Says Universe Created Itself

There is absolutely no evidence that the universe is spreading outward.
What?

Using the 100-inch Hooker Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, Dr. Edwin Hubble has studied many spiral nebulae. He has discovered they are moving away from us at a rapid pace. This is strong evidence of an expanding universe. He has further determined that the farther the nebula, the faster it moves away.
Universe is Expanding
I'm beginning to have real problems with Hubble. Methinks extreme redshifts need a relativistic adjustment just like standard physics did at high velocities and/or other causes.

He may be.

But even if he is wrong, that doesn't mean the alternative explanation is that the universe was created by a Christian God.

People with strongly held religious beliefs attack science with the intent to dismantle explanations that are contrary to religious teachings so that they can offer a religious counter-argument, even though there is no empirical to support their claim.
Most Christians have no problem with real science. Evolution is not real science. It does not use the scientific method, nor is there any way to falsify it, since there are no scientific experiments than can be performed on it. You've heard of fake news? Well, this is fake science. Science has no way of know how or why anything exists and they never will. All they can do is make some guesses.

Redshift is not evidence that the universe is expanding.
Redshift is like the doppler effect. You listen to a train go by?

That ticket you get for speeding?

Redshift is not evidence that the universe is expanding.
Actually, there is strong evidence that the speed of light is not constant. It interacts with cosmic dust or something which can slow it down. There seems to be some sort of interference that slows it down. Not by much, but there it is.
 
The universe always was

Matter cannot be created or destroyed
How many times do I have to say this? The universe cannot be eternal. It's a scientific impossibility. If it was eternal, there would be no energy left. It would have been used up an eternity ago. Damn! You're stupid.
It is a scientific impossibility for matter to self create itself
Energy is created.....matter is not
In string theory, we have a multiverse of universes. Think of our universe as the surface of a soap bubble, which is expanding. We live on the skin of this bubble. But string theory predicts that there should be other bubbles out there, which can collide with other bubbles or even sprout or bud baby bubbles, as in a bubble bath.

But how can an entire universe come out of nothing? This apparently violates the conservation of matter and energy. But there is a simple answer.

Matter, of course, has positive energy. But gravity has negative energy. (For example, you have to add energy to the earth in order to tear it away from the sun. One separated far from the solar system, the earth then has zero gravitational energy. But this means that the original solar system had negative energy.)

If you do the math, you find out that the sum total of matter in the universe can cancel against the sum total of negative gravitational energy, yielding a universe with zero (or close to zero) net matter/energy. So, in some sense, universes are for free. It does not take net matter and energy to create entire universes. In this way, in the bubble bath, bubbles can collide, create baby bubbles, or simple pop into existence from nothing.

Can a Universe Create Itself Out of Nothing?
None of which can be proven.

God is not a being.
If the Universe created itself, is it not possible that the universe is God, og God is the universe?
 

Dear Professor Hawking, The universe did not need God to create it because God created it to appear that way.

Lol!

Prove I am wrong.
"Dear Professor Hawking, The universe did not need God to create it because God created it to appear that way.

Lol!

Prove I am wrong."

why would anyone care to try? That may be possible, and maybe we are just studying what "God made appear to be so". That wouldn't change science one iota.

Sure! or, maybe this universe is just one of God's toenails. Or a testicle.

That's the funny part.

It wouldn't refute the chance that there really is a God, either. Would it?
