God did not create the universe, says Hawking

Why are these authors so determined to denounce God.

A society w/o God lacks hope..... a lack of hope lead a lack of values....

It is clearly evident, what happens when society...loses hope .... chaos and destruction ensues....

One also has to also consider that this is simply a theory.....It's Steven's & Leonard's idea/opinion...to which he's clearly entitled. Remember Plato wrote...when asked about God or the creator... It's written...some things are simply unexplainable.

So, the question we should be asking is whether proving God's "non-existence" is valuable to society?
And the answer is no_ Creating doubt purposely in someone's mind, does not enhance a person's life it simply stalls it and serves to create chaos of the mind.

**Those of us who are Christians, know that his worldly theory does not pertain to us.

Limbo Conservation - The American Apparel

12% unemployment is not the elephant in the room. Other issues include consummer confidence, banks failing to lend (probably because they took so much risk earlier, and now they are in limbo conservation), job insecurity, low demand for goods and or that consumers simply have everything they need within the household to make them content. Lets face it.... our goods are significantly cheaper due to foreign made goods...so everyone can afford to purchase items of competing brands for less prices. Basically, we have less big ticket items that people want_ Consider the Apple IPOD, IPAD etc.... all big ticket items and people wanted them....

In respect to consumer confidence....maybe ..just maybe consumers are materialed out_
They simply have enough stuff....so why buy more.

This is America...the land of R&D. Banks need to choose a side...NO MORE LIMBO.... Invest or perish!

When the government gave the bail out funds, they should have contractually made the bank agree to extend credit and invest a minimum amount back into get the economy...thus getting it moving again.

I am not sure but I think the Government needs to act somewhat like the credit card company..where the riskier you are then the more you have to pay back... Or maybe the government may want to setup levels of qualifying investments (Have companies that want to expand human capital or in R&D apply through a government screening process..the government then apply a risk number....and banks can bid on extending credit)- No longer than 30 days.
