I feel that I have been given a rather unique explanation for the full history of the universe and I even feel somewhat responsible to try my best to get others thinking about this general idea that can perhaps result even in a book or two, about this idea in technical jargon that I cannot do myself.
Chapter thirteen of "Stephen Hawking's Universe" is entitled "The Anthropic Principle." I personally got the impression from that chapter that the late Stephen Hawking Ph. D. may NOT have been a full fledge Atheist but may instead have been questioning if there was a Theistic version of "Evolutionary Theory" possible that could perhaps have resulted in that Being of Light of near death experience fame, who seems to have invested in off the scale audio video technology for all eight billion of us humans that turns us into reality film stars in a drama that may well have extremely high value in infinite time in the future? My evidence for this is the "Life Review" that so many near death experiencers report having.
To my thinking Evolutionary Theory should no longer be limited to a mere fourteen billion or so years in the past but instead "Theistic Evolutionary Theory' should include essentially infinite time in the past?
One of the most astonishing statements that I have ever read that seems to me to fit perfectly with chapter thirteen of Stephen Hawking's universe are a few paragraphs by former Atheist and near death experiencer Mellen Thomas Benedict.

[Mellen Benedict] :
6. The Void
At this point of my NDE, I found myself in a profound stillness, beyond all silence. I could see or perceive FOREVER, beyond Infinity. I was in the Void.
I was in pre-creation, before the Big Bang. I had crossed over the beginning of time / the First Word / the First vibration. I was in the Eye of Creation. I felt as if I was touching the Face of God. It was not a religious feeling. Simply, I was at one with Absolute Life and Consciousness. When I say that I could see or perceive forever, I mean that I could experience all of creation generating itself. It was without beginning and without end. That’s a mind-expanding thought, isn’t it? Scientists perceive the Big Bang as a single event that created the Universe. I saw during my life after death experience that the Big Bang is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating Universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would be those created by super computers using fractal geometry equations.
The ancients knew of this. They said God had periodically created new Universes by breathing out, and recreated other Universes by breathing in. These epochs were called Yugas. Modern science called this the Big Bang. I was in absolute, pure consciousness. I could see or perceive all the Big Bangs or Yugas creating and recreating themselves. Instantly I entered into them all simultaneously. I saw that each and every little piece of creation has the power to create. It is very difficult to try to explain this. I am still speechless about this.
