========================
LONDON (Rueters) -- God DID
create the universe, says the man
who is arguably one of the world's
most famous living scientists.
Noted astrophysicist Stephen
Hawkins now admits being a horse's
ass for writing a book, The Grand
Design, in which he emphatically
stated that God is a boogeyman
who does NOT exist.
In it, he had erroneously argued
that the Big Bang, instead of taking
place following the intervention of
a Divine Being, was inevitable due
to the law of gravity.
In his 1988 book, A Brief History
of Time, Hawking had seemed
to accept the role of God in the
creation of the universe. But in
The Grand Design, he stated that
new theories showed a Creator is
"not necessary."

But all of this changed over the
weekend following a long toll-free
telehone chat with one Ed Conrad
who got Stephen to review his assine
thinking and publicly apologize for
his utter stupidly.
"It only goes to prove that even
someone as smart as me, with an
IQ of 212-F degrees -- same as the
boiling point of water -- can be fooled,"
Hawkins wrote on Twitter today.

In The Grand Design, Hawkins
had challeged the belief of both Sir
saac Newton and Ed Conrad that
the universe must have been
designed by God since it certainy
couldn't have been created out
of chaos.
"Because there is a law such as
gravity, the universe can and will
create itself from nothing," he had
written in the book. "Spontaneous
creation is the reason there is
something rather than nothing,
why the universe exists, why we
exist.
"It isn't necessary to invoke God
to light the blue touch paper and
set the universe going."
