Cosmology the study of history and structure of the Universe is the closest science has come to religion. It sometimes provides an answer that doesn’t always have a religious resonance; they are sufficiently mysterious in their own way. It is also the largest threat to religion since Darwin’s, “Origin of the species”. It considers multiple universes apart from ours, with about a hundred billion stars and galaxies.
Darwin propounded evolution without a purpose, whereas religious faith points to a direction and purpose a sort of metaphor for the infinite. Whatever is the truth, the great cosmological expanse out there beckons us, in our quest for meaning in our lives. We must delve into this vast ocean, forgetting the small ponds of misery we have created for ourselves?
