HONG KONG - Famed physicist Stephen Hawking said Thursday that Pope John Paul II tried to discourage him and other scientists attending a cosmology conference at the Vatican from trying to figure out how the universe began.
-- Minn Lee for the Associated Press
Okay, it is not big news that the Church would be trying to suppress efforts at trying to explain scientifically how the universe began, as depressing as it is in this day and age, especially with respect to Pope John Paul II, who was relatively friendly to scientific endeavors. One supposes that the fear of science may be an occupational hazard for popes and religious heads.
But this just in: Stephen Hawking also cannot figure out women. Read all about it! It's not just you and me. Women are the wonder and great mystery of the universe, perhaps irreducibly beyond reason and sense.
