Was Earth designed carefully for man, or man designed carefully for Earth?

Dr. Steven Hawking now says that, given the laws of physics as currently known, the Universe had to spontaneously erupt out of nothing. He says there is no need of a God model to explain the Big Bang, that quantum gravity would compel it. He goes on to state that the discovery of planetary systems with multiple planets deals a heavy blow to human chauvinism. No longer may we logically believe that the great fortune of solar mass, planetary mass, liquid water, Earth’s orbital location in the habitable zone and the presence of massive gas giants to sweep up space debris and protect the planet from catastrophic impacts is so unique that it had to have been laid out just so by an intelligent designer intent on producing man. Instead, there are almost certainly numerous planetary systems with the right conditions for the development of life, and life on them would evolve to uniquely fit the conditions where it arose.

For those that insist that only the God model is supported by evidence, does the fact that premise is false do anything to alter your view? Or do you feel Dr. Hawking is just wrong, or not as well informed as you are?
