Big Questions in Cosmology: Intersections between Science and Religion

Abstract

In this paper, I attempt to point out that there are many areas in contemporary scientific cosmology that touch upon theological and philosophical questions. My perspective and that of many believing scientists is that our understanding of the universe will be enriched by a complimentary approach that incorporates the best science along with the most mature and reasoned theology. Each discipline may point to separate truths, but these truths are complimentary.
