As found this at Jerry Coyne's website at Just for the record, Hawking was an atheist.
What Stephen Hawking wrote in his final book:
“There is no God. No one directs the universe,” he writes in “Brief Answers to the Big Questions.”
“For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse that was inflicted by God,” he adds. “I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature.”

Just because a famous scientist says something that doesn't make it true.
However this time of course it's true. Nothing could be more simple because it's reality. The only alternative is a childish belief in magic which is ridiculous and impossible.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
