Several years ago I had an interesting discussion of this point with <!g>Freeman Dyson, one of the most thoughtful physicists of our day. "You worry too much about <!g>Hawking," he said, "It's rather silly to think of God's role in creation as just sitting up there on a platform and pushing the switch." Creation is a far broader concept that just the moment of the <!g>Big Bang. The very structures of the universe itself, the rules of its operation, its continued maintenance — these are the more important aspects of creation.
