Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking

Theoretical Physicist

At a physicist's conference Hawking was attending after his book A Brief History of Time was published, a reporter approached him to ask if he did in fact believe in God, given the "mind of God" reference near the end of the book. Hawking responded quickly (suggesting his answer was pre-prepared) "I do not believe in a personal God."

“All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.”
