"Pope Benedict XVI says he believes scientists who deny the existence of God are wrong, that God exists and that he did create the universe.
The pope did not mention names but was clearly referring to physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking, who proposed in a book published last month that the laws of physics can account for the creation of the world and that a supreme being is not required, CNN reported.
...In his book, "The Grand Design," Hawking said that, given the existence of gravity, "the universe can and will create itself from nothing."

Perhaps it's just me suffering from a woeful lack of formal education but I read this quote from Hawking and I just had to ask, if the existence of gravity accounts for the creation of the universe how can Hawking say the universe was created from nothing? Gravity is something, no? And if gravity pre-exists the universe and was the cause of the universe then the universe was created from something.
But, Prof Hawking, who created the gravity?
These are the games played when atheists try to wrap their faith in science to make it seem logical to the world. I would expect better from someone as intelligent as Hawking.
