UFM Cosmogony and Cosmology Discussion Paper
I’m working on a religion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Cosmogony and Cosmology
What are some human concerns that you can detect from cosmogonic stories as presented in ANATOMY OF THE SACRED, Chapter 9? Give at least two diverse examples from the stories. Do these concerns still exist in modern time? How are concerns expressed in contemporary cosmogony? in the scientific version of the Big Bang and Evolution Theory?
Livingston lays out these clusters of creation stories: Emergence or Procreation from a Primal Substance or Being, The Sexual Union of Primal Male and Female, Creation by Conflict and the Ordering of Chaos, Creation by a Divine Craftsman, Creation by Decree or From Nothing, Contemporary Cosmogony. How do these stories influence world view and the human place within creation?
Cosmogony and Cosmology (“emergence or creation of world order,” Creation Stories)
Which view of Cosmogony works for you? Explain your answer and give a detailed example (s). How does Cosmogony shape one’s world view and purpose of creation? Does your preferred Cosmogony include why “bad things happen to good people”? (or how evil happens in our world?) Does your preferred Cosmogony account for 20th Century physics and discoveries about the expanding universe from the Hubble telescope?
