So what about creationism and the judgment day ? !

In _ Science , Philosophy , and Religion , A Symposium _ ,
New York , 1941 , Einstein said ,
" If [ God ] is omnipotent , then every occurrence ,
Including every human action , every human thought ,
and Every human feeling and aspiration is also His work ;
How is it possible to think of holding men responsible for
their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being ?
In giving out punishment and rewards he would ,
to a certain extent , be passing judgment on Himself .
How can this be combined with
the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him ?
...
The more a man is imbued with
the ordered regularity of all events
the firmer becomes his conviction that
there is no room left by the side of
this ordered regularity for causes of a different
[ ? Supernatural ] nature . "

Stephen Hawking says , " one has to find
a consistent solution of the equations of physics
...
It would imply that we were completely determined :
we couldn't change our minds . So much for free will . "

In _ Black Holes and Baby Universes _ , 1990 ,
Hawking said , " In summary , the title of this essay
was a question : ' Is everything determined ? '
The answer is yes , it is .
But it might as well not be ,
because we can never know what is determined . "

In Carl Sagan's introduction to Hawking's book
_ A Brief History of Time _ , he said ,
http://bex.nsstc.uah.edu/P494/ss09.html
" This is also a book about God ...
or perhaps about the absence of God .
The word God fills these pages .
Hawking embarks on a quest to answer
Einstein's famous question about
whether God had any choice in creating the universe .
Hawking is attempting , as he explicitly states ,
to understand the mind of God .
And this makes all the more unexpected
the conclusion of the effort , at least so far :
a universe with no edge in space ,
no beginning or end in time ,
and nothing for a Creator to do . "

In three sperate quotes , Hawking said , " One could say :
' The boundary condition of the universe
is that it has no boundary '
The universe would be completely self-contained
and not affected by anything outside itself .
It would neither be created nor destroyed .
It would just Be .
What place , then , for a creator ?
...
In relativity , there is no real distinction between
the space and time coordinates , just as there is
no difference between two space coordinates .
...
Imaginary time is
indistinguishable from directions in space . "

Many physicists and philosophers assume that
that material determinism is absolute .
( Any assumption is a " Faith " , a trust )

Commenting on how natural time is spatial and static ,
Einstein said ,
" The past , present , and future ,
are only illusions , however persistent . "

Hermann Weyl , Einstein's colleague said ,
" The world doesn't happen , it simply is . "

In 1929 , Einstein said , " Everything is determined ,
The beginning as well as the end ,
by forces over which we have no control .
It is determined for the insects as well as the star .
Human beings , vegetables , or cosmic dust ,
We all dance to a mysterious tune
Intoned in the distance by an invisible piper . "

From http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02053a.htm
" The theory of Democritus [ Athens , 460 - 370 BC ]
may be summed up in the following propositions :
_ All bodies are composed of atoms
and spaces between the atoms . ...
_ There is no purpose or design in nature ,
and in this sense all is ruled by chance .
( i.e. A mysterious , yet still absolute ,
material determinism )
_ All activity is reduced to local motion . "
