"Orang dapat membayangkan bahwa Tuhan menciptakan alam semesta secara harfiah kapan saja di masa lalu. Di sisi lain, jika alam semesta mengembang, mungkin ada alasan fisik mengapa harus ada permulaan. Orang dapat membayangkan bahwa Tuhan menciptakan alam semesta pada saat Dentuman Besar, atau bahkan sesudahnya sedemikian rupa sehingga tampak seolah-olah telah terjadi Dentuman Besar, tetapi tidak ada artinya untuk menganggap bahwa ia diciptakan sebelum Ledakan Besar. Alam semesta yang mengembang tidak menghalangi seorang pencipta, tetapi ia membatasi ketika ia mungkin melakukan pekerjaannya!"

--- Stephen Hawking

Versi Bahasa Inggris

One can imagine that God created the universe at literally any time in the past. On the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. One could imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!
