However in one of his essays, "What Happened Before the Big Bang?", Paul Davies shows skepticism of Big Bang having caused by any form of supernatural cause. He wrote, "Even if we don't have a precise idea of exactly what took place at the beginning, we can at least see that the origin of the universe from nothing need not be unlawful or unnatural or unscientific. In short, it need not have been a supernatural event."[2]
