Additional quotes by Stephen Hawking

It is a matter of common experience that things get more disordered and chaotic with time. This observation even has its own law, the so-called second law of thermodynamics.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.
