ABSTRACT
Premise is supported by the inductive evidence of contemporary cosmology and enjoys greater plausibility in light of that evidence than it’s contradictory. The initial cosmological singularity may be a virtual thermodynamical necessity. Indeed, the supernovae evidence actually suggested that the universe is accelerating, in which case there must be effectually a positive cosmological constant. In 1965 a serendipitous discovery revealed the existence of a cosmic background radiation predicted in the 1940s by George Gamow on the basis of the Standard Model. Change is thus logically sufficient for the existence of time, but is also plausibly a cause of time's existence. S. Hawking does not deny the existence of God, but he does think his Quantum Gravity model eliminates the need for a Creator of the universe. The key to assessing this theological claim is the physical interpretation of Quantum Gravity Models.
