| Sommario/riassunto: | This text argues that the new scientific cosmology also functions as a religious creation story, or ""cosmogony"". Traditional creation mythologies offer a vision of an ultimately meaningful sacred reality; they show precisely how all of creation emerges from and is situated within that reality. |
