Pope is exactly right; religion should not contradict science. In fact, it does not. Only some brain-dead believers contradict religion and science.
Most religions say - everything happens as per God's wills. Following this logic, it should not be difficult to think that - Big Bang was one such event that God needed to start his new creations (point-zero).
I like the accommodative nature of the Pope. Extending this logic further, one can say – all good ideas do come to those who are chosen by God, and scientists are the chosen ones to convey those messages, since dull-headed believers are no good for such complex messages.
