Does anyone know anything about a book called "A Brief History 
of Time: From Big Bang To Black Holes" by Stephen Hawking?
My husband heard that it was a defense of creationism, and wants 
to read it. However, I heard that the author does not believe in
God. I'd appreciate any input on this. My husband and I are both
Christians.

[I haven't read it, but I am rather confident that it is not a defense
of creationism.  If it were, it would not be appropriate to discuss it
here, since I redirect discussion of creationism to talk.origins.  If
anyone who has read it sees any theological implications of the book
that are worth commenting on -- and which are not better suited to
talk.origins -- feel free to enlighten us.  --clh]
