Several years ago I had an interesting discussion of this point with Freeman Dyson, one of the most thoughtful physicists of our day. "You worry too much about 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 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.
