Its been a long time since I've read a bible but if I recall in Genesis God had just always been there, got really bored and decided to create people to amuse him...so I think even the Christian faith accepts that before creation there was nothing, well nothing and God.
I never understood why Christians have such a hard time with ideas like the big bang. If you believe in God why can't that just be explained away by God saying "Let there be light"? And I guess the same would apply here, somebody had to get the ball rolling right?
Anyway, if you can explain everything away by saying "God is testing our faith" (Still believe in me now bitches?) or "God knew this from the beginning and is just now choosing to show us" or my favorite (I heard a baptist pastor say this to me years ago) "Its the work of Satan" then why would the work of Stephen Hawking or anybody else have any meaningful impact on that kind of faith? People will just continue finding ways to excuse the growing discrepancies between biblical history and science...and then you'll wind up with wax statues of people riding dinosaurs at a museum in Kentucky.
