I'm not sure about the particular case of the holy virgin, but since Johannes Paul accepted Darwinism he probably also had some view on this that is compatible with biology.


"Virgo" means both virgin and "young lady". It is possible the latter was meant and was misinterpreted as the former.

Well, if you accept that God does not intervene in the universe, then that pretty much rules out Him having a son.


It appears Hawking's view is that there are certain "Laws of Nature" which the creator set in to place and then let it run perhaps like an ant farm, without interfering. Seen from inside this means that there are no exception to the "Laws of Nature", this means no miracles and in particular no divine conception.

i simply quoted a passage attributed to hawking... i don't know his theology, or even if he has one... i do know that a God who doesn't intervene in his creation is counter to my beliefs, even if such a God is acceptable to a pope ...

Well said Jimmy. Your beliefs may be completely different to mine, but you have my respect for being consistent about them.
