Richard, You're absolutely correct. For the same reason, Hawking and Krauss concluded that the universe created itself. How absurd can you get? What they actually say is that it didn't need a creator as there are known physical principles that can mean matter and space are self creating. It didn't "create" itself in any sort of "this bit goes here" sort of way, you would need intelligence and planning for that which is why god concepts of whatever stripe don't explain creation because they would have to be around before.

Woomeister Chopra challenges science to explain consciousness with a Randi style prize. The money suggests he feels confident that there is no scientific solution to the hard problem of consciousness- in the same way that James Randi feels confident there is no paranormal. The trouble for Chopra is that, while no one has managed to demonstrate even a tiny morsel of magical powers, we know quite a lot about consciousness already. Here's hoping for a swift solution to the hard problem as he's one bullshit artist I'd like to see with some egg on his face. And a million bucks would be a lot of egg.....
