Cosmology and religion

Whats a very big problem between religion and cosmology?

1. If natural selection guarantees the survival of the fittest questions idea that we should care for the weak and needy 2. It questions equal value and dignity of each individual 3. The word of God seems to be contridicted

why does cosmology pose a challenge to religious view?

1. Timing 2. Big bang is cause 3. Evolution challenge special position of humans 4. universe started by chance and accident then the universe has no purpose

How can the two compliment eachother?

1. all mainstream churches have accepted cosmology since the 1980s 2. conservative and liberal views are that the Bible is not literal but rather metaphorical and has myths answering why questions 3. Science speaks of God where he is revealed through nature. 4. God is the first cause of the big bang 5. intelligent design can be found in planck time. It is so improbable to be down to chance seems to have been purposefully planned.

What can be said about religion and cosmology?

Science is about explanation. Religion is about interpretation. (Lord Jonathan Sacks)

Why would only cosmology be right?

Scientific theories and origin of the universe are based on empirical evidence.

Why would only creationism be right?

7 day creation is literally true and possibly foreshadows scientific discoveries
