Re: Reply to Dr Adequate
He accepts that it does and this apparently causes Hawking to look for another explanation which would not smack of divine intervention.
How the hell do you get that from this.

Just good old cut and pastes
To me it looks like you've been reading a website about quotes from physicist that look like they support a belief in god,
As shown by the opening quotation mark on the quote with a lack of a quotation mark on the end.
Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.
I think it is obvious it is a cut and paste from some other site.

Troll feeding is over
Ok I am done feeding the troll. It is obvious DT is either lying or exceedingly dense. He refuses to consider anything other than his own preconceived ideas no matter how wacky.
He cannot even tell us what a singularity is and what its relation to or not to the big bang is. He probably thinks the big bang is truly a big explosion.
All I can say at this point is WOW.
