How'd the world come into being? Who can prove there was a BIG BANG? And, if there was such, what does that tell us about life today and tomorrow?
I do not see myself as a scientist, I am rather a philosopher. Some claim that it is the role of philosophy to doubt and question but I see it as the role that asks the questions that the scientiests should answer. Philosophers can also suggest answers and request that scientists proof or disproof them.
Cosmology is that branch of science which studies the origin and evolution of the universe. Since the philosophy of evolution is the underlying assumption of cosmology, it is expected that a good number of their conclusions will come in conflict with the Biblical history of creation. It is therefore good to know if those conflicts arise because of scientific reasons or because of philosophical presuppositions.
