What are similarities or differences between the two areas, their methods, or implications? For example, how do ideas such as “creation out of nothing” correspond with recent cosmological theories and observations in astronomy and physics?

This only needs to be 300-400 words-not an option when ordering. If one believes God exists and is the creator—and sustainer—of all things, then one’s explorations of the material universe and its origins will reflect those beliefs.

After studying modern cosmology, study the writings about the origins of the material world/universe from a religious belief system of your choice (for a Judeo-Christian perspective, examine Genesis 1, Job 38, Hebrews 11, Psalm 19, and others)

In a one-page essay (about 300-400 words), compare and contrast ideas from our study of cosmology with the religious doctrine of origins that you studied.

What are similarities or differences between the two areas, their methods, or implications?
For example, how do ideas such as “creation out of nothing” correspond with recent cosmological theories and observations in astronomy and physics?
To what extent do some of the trends or discoveries in the last 50 years of astronomy and physics suggest or conflict with either the idea of a creator or the claims of well-know atheists?
