Not quite the same.


edit to add: But, you believe what you choose to believe. Believe in a Creator or believe in equations. You will choose won't you.



If gravity were only an equation, the basic physical Universe, as we know it, would be a strangely different.

Gravity may well be, by another name, God.



Seems that according to Hawking, gravity did not exist before the Spontaneous Creation. How could a relationship between mass exist before the mass existed. It could not be defined until after mass was created.

Nope, it is still circular.




Maybe in the same way God could not exist until we though him up.


From an evolutionary view, is it also reasonable to think that God existed "before" man was capable of thinking him up?


Depends.

If the thing we now now call gravity is God, yes.

If God is the supernatual entities with magical powers that can be petitioned by us in hopes of changing fates we want to avoid, no.
