it's not big news because it doesn't add anything new to the scenario.  physicists and aetheists have been claiming that the universe can exist by nature solely for years, so it isn't "new"s just because one more person says it because he has a greater visibility.

For what its worth, Stephen Hawking understands the universe better than almost everyone on Earth.


understanding it better than a grocery stock person is a logical fallacy if that is how you are setting up your argument, but there are many physicists who are equal or greater to Hawkins, and that is who you must compare him to to weight the merits of his arguments.  he is simply the most visible face of physics, but certainly not even the top in the field today, and isn't infallible. many scientists have shown his theories to be wrong, and he has conceeded theories as well.
