Astrophysicist ignores Pope

Astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, quoted the late Pope John Paul II as saying, "It's OK to study the universe and where it began. But we should not inquire into the beginning itself because that was the moment of creation and the work of God." Hawking said the Pope made the comment at a Vatican-sponsored cosmology conference where Hawking has just presented a paper on the origins of the universe.
