From time to time there has been some quite intelligent and educated (in the sciences well beyond my education), conservatives that have made scientific arguments that they say indicate the God created the universe. Given their intelligence and superior scientific education, I have not been in the position to counter their arguments due to my own short comings. However, Stephen Hawking, arguably the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein, has made his case in a recent book that would counter this forum's conservatives' advantage in the "God created the universe", argument.
