Is believing in God unscientific and irrational?

Is believing in God unscientific and irrational? Let's see what Stephen Hawking one of the brilliant minds of our time had to say about this. In his book The Theory of Everything he writes... "The idea that space and time may form a closed surface without boundary also has profound implications for the role of God in the affairs of the universe. With the success of scientific theories in describing events, most people have come to believe that God allows the universe to evolve according to a set of laws. He does not seem to intervene in the universe to break these laws. However the laws do not tell us what the universe should have looked like when it started. It should still be up to God to wind up the clockwork and choose how to start it off. So long as the universe had a beginning that was a singularity, one could suppose that it was created by an outside agency". He also writes... "In the classical theory of gravity, which is based on real space-time, there are only two possible ways the universe can behave. Either it has existed for an infinite time, or else it had a beginning at a singularity at some finite time in the past. In fact, the singularity theorems show it must be the second possibility." So see we that the theorems show that the universe exploded into being at a finite time in the past which means it had a beginning at a singularity. And according to Stephen Hawking...

So long as the universe had a beginning that was a singularity, one could suppose that it was created by an outside agency.

G-D bless you.
