If there is a unifying theme across the book, it is Hawking's deep faith in science's ability to solve humanity's biggest problems ... His answers to the big questions illustrate his belief in the rationality of nature and on our ability to uncover all its secrets. His optimism permeates every page ... Although Hawking touches on the origin of the universe, the physics of black holes and some of his other favorite topics, his main concern in this book is not physics. It's humanity and its collective future ... Focusing his attention in the book on three related questions – the future of our planet, colonization of other planets, and the rise of artificial intelligence – he charts his strategy to save us from ourselves ... Only science, Hawking argues, can save us from our mistakes ... Hawking believes that humanity's evolutionary mission is to spread through the galaxy as a sort of cosmic gardener, sowing life along the way. He believes ... that we will develop a positive relation with intelligent machines and that, together, we will redesign the current fate of the world and of our species." 1904: 443:, Hawking's book is "effortlessly instructive, absorbing, up to the minute and – where it matters – witty." Radford quotes Hawking, "If the universe adds up to nothing, then you don't need a God to create it. The universe is the ultimate free lunch"; "our worst mistake ever" ; "Our future is a race between the growing power of our technology and the wisdom with which we use it. Let's make sure that wisdom wins." and "If humanity is to continue for another million years, our future lies in going boldly where no one else has gone before." Radford writes, "People who argue for good education for all, a decently funded NHS ( 456:, notes that author Hawking, in the book, is "funny and optimistic, even as he warns us that artificial intelligence is likely to outsmart us, that the wealthy are bound to develop into a superhuman species, and that the planet is hurtling toward total inhabitability ... book is ultimately a verdict on humanity's future. At first blush, the verdict is that we're doomed. But dig deeper and there's something else here too, a faith that human wisdom and innovation will thwart our own destruction, even when we seem hellbent on bringing it about."

As for the need for a God to cause the Big Bang, Hawking stated that "The laws of nature itself tell us that not only could the universe have popped into existence without any assistance, like a proton, and have required nothing in terms of energy, but also it is possible that nothing caused the Big Bang. Nothing." 29: 360:("asking if time travel is possible is a 'very serious question' that our current understanding cannot rule out"), and God ("knowing the mind of God is knowing the laws of nature ... My prediction is that we will know the mind of God by the end of this century"; further, "if you like, you can call the 327:
