Two Ways Something Can Be Without a Beginning or End

In the award-winning film The Theory of Everything, the young Stephen Hawking describes cosmology as a religion for intelligent atheists. The film then explores the theological implications of two cosmological models defended by Hawking. Do these models in fact have the implications which Hawking attributes to them, and will cosmology play successfully the role of a surrogate religion? In the dialogue between science and theology, philosophy plays a crucial role. In this talk, Dr. Craig will respond to Hawking's claim to have eliminated the Creator of the Big Bang.
