Atheists are materialistic monists, who reject the transcendental consciousness and
assume a universe that takes care of itself even creates itself. It is one thing to assume
that matter existed eternally is the cause of everything in the cosmos by evolution. But
it is another to state that it created itself. One such description can be found in Stephen
Hawking’s “The Grand Design” where he states:
“Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.”
(Page 180)
This is obviously a form of neutral monism where the neutral something is identified as
the ultimate reality from which everything is derived. In this case this neutral something
– the Supreme Creator is identified as the Quantum Space Time Geometry of infinite
curvature of singularity.
