Hawkings has some weird philosophies and tends to flip flop a lot on the whole god thing or at least people confuse his theories as flip flopping. He believes every combination of lifeforms and universes that can ever exist does exist and will exist. He believes there are deities out there right now with the capability of transporting between universes, moving through wormholes, transversing time, and creating universes of their own, but doesn't believe ours was created by one. I for one don't understand it but I will agree with him that our universe, if created by god, wasn't created for just us.
I do think its interesting though that for over 3 thousand years the bible has said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Notice the plural. And it wasn't until the last 15 years that we've realized there is galaxies other than our own out there.
