	Cosmogony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cosmogony is descriptive of a theory or belief concerning the coming into existence, the creation or origin of the universe and existence; it systematically depicts an origin belief about how reality came to be.
		Cosmogony can be contrasted with cosmology, which studies the universe at large and throughout its existence and technically does not inquire directly about the source of its origins.
		As a result of this, scientific cosmogonies are often supplemented by reference to metaphysical and theistic belief systems, through three classical paradoxes.

	Empedocles posited a cycle of creation that alternated from Many to One with a world of mortal things between and from ...
		This suggests that the extant cosmogony depicts the creation of the world in the phase of increasing Strife and has led, in part, to the proliferation of the theory that there was only one creation of mortal things in the cycle.
		The cosmogony after the Many cannot be the same as the cosmogony outlined in the period between One and Many because the elements do not have the same arrangement during the Many and the One.
		Beginning from the Many (the cosmogony that Empedocles fails to depict), on the other hand, the elements are already in the natural configuration for the world: four concentric spheres with the heaviest element at the centre and the lightest at the edge: their so-called "natural" positions.

		It is the selfexistent Lord, who, with a thought, created the waters, and deposited in them a seed which became a golden egg, in which egg he himself is born as Brahm, the progenitor of the worlds.4 The doctrine of creation by a thought is characteristically Indian.
		This may illustrate the fact that the dragon is also unmentioned in the Hebrew cosmogony; to some writers the dragon-element may have seemed grotesque and inappropriate.
		One may also be permitted to hold that the mythic figure of the dragon, if used poetically, is a highly serviceable one, and consider that in the beginning God fought with the dragon, and slew him would have formed an admirable illustration of the passages just now referred to, especially to those in the Apocalypse.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cosmogony
		According to the cosmogony given by the same writer on the authority of Mochos, Ether and Air generated Oulomos (world-time, sæculum), Chousoros (artificer, creative energy), and the cosmic egg; and Damscius expressly states that, according to the Phoenicians, world-time is the first principle containing all in itself.
		Some cosmogonies stopped here and were frankly materialistic; it probably depended on climate surroundings what they conceived the proto-matter to be, whether clay or water, or air, or fire, or light (conceived as substances).
		Those cosmogonies which do not go so far as to personify space or time or darkness, but stopped short at the idea of some proto-substance, were faced by the problem whether this primeval substance was spirit, or matter, or both.

	Myths of Creation, Greek Mythology Link.
		Cosmogony normally includes, not only an account of the origin of the world, but also a description of its physical qualities, declaring, for example, whether there is light or darkness in Cosmos, or of which parts it is formed.
		Likewise Theogony, which describes the Origin of the Gods, does not limit itself to give an account of their coming to being, but it also establishes their number and describes their nature, declaring, among many other things, whether they are good or evil, or whether they are stronger or weaker.
		Since Cosmos is not a lifeless stage where actors perform their deeds, but instead the stage and the actors at the same time; and since these actors are divinities, it may be asserted that the myths make no difference between Cosmogony and Theogony, or between the Cosmos and the gods.

		There are two kinds of reasons for believing in big bang cosmogony and the subsequent expansion of the universe, one theoretical and the other empirical, and as we shall see, neither is a good reason for doubting that this is a spatiomaterial world.
		The equation from Einstein’s general theory of relativity was adapted for big bang cosmogony, because it could be used to represent a universe in which the initial pressure and outward momentum of the expansion is countered by the universal gravitational attraction.
		The most basic objection to Einsteinian cosmogony is the use of Einstein’s question to represent the entire universe.

		So, the Copernican cosmogony, which at first did away with the “privileged” position of the earth as center of the universe in the 16th century, returns that center in the 19th century to the human mind, a situation far more privileged, arrogant and anthropocentric than the old Ptolemaic system ever was!
		This cosmogony begins with the moment of Big Bang some ten billion years past when an infinitely dense mass of primordial hydrogen exploded in a vast expansion that is still going on today.

	Galileo's Cosmogony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Intrigued by the obvious falsity of Galileo's claim, as was first noticed by Marin Mersenne in 1637, historians have tried to understand the motives for Galileo's insistence on his cosmogony.
		Clues from such an interpretation allow us to date Galileo's first attempt at a cosmogony at a very early stage of the work on his new science of motion, that is at a time when he still adhered to the wrong principle of fall.
		The fact that Galileo started such an ambitious program when his theory of motion was yet so little developed is in accordance with the underlying thesis that the omnipresence of Aristotelian natural philosophy of the time almost unavoidably led engineer-scientists like Galileo to encounters with astronomical issues related to it.
