On God’s Supernatural Role in Hawking’s Literature

Abstract

In this essay, I will discuss the roles which the belief in the supernatural and the theories about it have had in physics throughout history. I will begin with Aristotle’s theories about the origin of the Universe and then move to discuss the beliefs and theories of other famous scientists and physicists all the way to Hawking. I will describe the evolution of the supernatural including Einstein’s philosophical God to the non-existence of supernatural forces in Hawking’s literature. Even today the questions on whether God was involved in the creation and/ or is the origin of the Universe are debated.
