A Brief History of Time

by Stephen W. Hawking

As we shall see, the concept of time has no meaning before the beginning of the universe. This was first pointed out by St. Augustine. When asked: “What did God do before he created the universe?” Augustine didn’t reply: “He was preparing Hell for people who asked such questions.”

Stephen Hawking was a funny guy, and this is a pretty good book so far.

An expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!
