I do not believe in a personal God. - Stephen Hawking



I'd say I don't believe in God,
but I'm afraid He might hear me.
- Stephen Hawking




We believe human begins have existed
for only a small fraction of cosmic history,
because human race has been improving so rapidly
in knowledge and technology that
if people had been around for millions of years,
the human race would be much further
along in it's mastery.
 - Stephen Hawking





I believe things cannot
 make themselves impossible.
 - Stephen Hawking

I believe that the long-term future of the human race
must be space and that it represents
an important life insurance for our future survival,
as it could prevent the disappearance
of humanity by colonizing other planets.
 - Stephen Hawking



Do you believe in first love
- or should I pass by again?
- Stephen Hawking



I believe everyone should have a broad picture
of how the universe operates and our place in it.
It is a basic human desire.
And it also puts our worries in perspective.
 - Stephen Hawking




Religion believes in miracles,
but these aren't compatible with science.
 - Stephen Hawking




Before we understand science,
it is natural to believe that God created the universe.
But now science offers a more convincing explanation.
- Stephen Hawking







Of course it is possible that UFO's really
do contain aliens as many people believe,
and the government is hushing it up.
- Stephen Hawking




So when people ask me if
 I believe God created the universe,
I tell them that the question itself makes no sense.
 Time didn't exist before the Big Bang,
 so there is no time for God to make the universe in.
It's like asking for directions to the edge of the earth;
the earth is a sphere, it doesn't have an edge,
so looking for it is a futile exercise.
- Stephen Hawking





I believe in universal health care.
 And I am not afraid to say so.
- Stephen Hawking




I don't believe that the ultimate theory will
come by steady work along existing lines.
 We need something new. We can't predict what that
will be or when we will find it because if we knew that,
we would have found it already!
- Stephen Hawking




Not to take this web of dualities as a sign
we are on the right track would be
a bit like believing that God put fossils
into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin
about the evolution of life.
 - Stephen Hawking


You cannot understand the glories
of the universe without believing there
is some Supreme Power behind it. - Stephen Hawking


I believe in the possible. I believe,
small though we are, insignificant though we may be,
we can reach a full understanding of the universe.
You were right when you said you felt small,
looking up at all that up there. We are very,
very small, but we are profoundly
capable of very, very big things.
 - Stephen Hawking
