“Philosophy is dead,” Stephen Hawking once wrote, sparking debates that spilled into classrooms, newsrooms, and dinner tables. This book, God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design Is It Anyway?, steps right into that fire. And trust me, the heat is worth it. John C. Lennox, a mathematician and Oxford scholar, doesn’t arrive here to fight science. Instead, he invites us to walk through the tension between faith and scientific explanation without flinching or choosing sides too quickly.

Science tries to answer how. Faith tries to answer why. But what if both were actually speaking about the same universe from different angles? Lennox’s writing feels like someone opening a window in a stuffy room. You breathe easier. Questions don’t feel like threats here. They feel necessary.

This book explores Hawking’s claim that the universe can and did create itself from nothing. Lennox pauses, turns that statement gently, and asks: Is “nothing” really nothing? And more importantly: Are we sure self-creation is a scientific conclusion rather than a philosophical leap?

This introduction is not about forcing answers into your hands. Instead, it’s about giving you the confidence to question what you hear, even when it sounds authoritative. You’ll see where reasoning sharpens, where assumptions hide, and where genuine curiosity lives. If you're searching for clarity without condescension, you're in the right place.
