Pope Quote

Nothing better describes the cowardly, fetid intellectual core of theology than Pope John Paul II's reported comments at a Vatican conference on cosmology:

"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."

Fortunately, philosophies like this necessarily contain their own seed for self-destruction. They starkly reveal that they have no center and are bound to be trampled by the Darwinian advances of greater beings.
