Unified Theories vs God

A Quote From A Brief History of Time by S. Hawking

"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it then that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe ? The usual approach of science, of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the models to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing ? Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about it's own existence ? Or does it need a creator, and, if so, does he have any other effect on the universe ? And who created him ?"
