Evolution (Redefined)

Stephen Hawking has a few quotes that fit good in this thread. Think about the perspectives of both "theists" and "atheists" in regards to these quotes.

"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"

"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."

"Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty."

"The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired."
