	PHILOSOPHICAL INFLUENCES ON COSMOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Theology, on the other hand, is a methodology for interpreting biblical text (scriptures as linguistic data) and primarily concerns itself with the significance of events.
		This then is the principal thesis to be developed here: the conflicts between theology and science on the subject of cosmology are generally rooted in either opposing philosophical views or philosophical confusions between the data and their interpretation.
		It is proposed that theology and science are both tainted with their own unstated philosophical presuppositions (either unwittingly or deceptively by the theologian and scientist) thus affecting their various interpretations of cosmology.

	"The Serpent Power and the New Adam" af Johannes Aagaard - Dialogcentret.dk
		Theology is open to such scientific attempts in cosmology, but theology is not only descriptive.
		Theology as a whole deals with the future as a 'virtual reality' which is in becoming“, and theology is an attempt to give guidance to and norms for not only the present but also from the future of God as the Truth who was and is and becomes“.
		The theologically sound cosmology can use some element from Occult, syncretistic cosmology, as it is proved by the Bible itself, but the obvious use of such elements from syncretistic movements has to be countered by clear-cut theological guidelines, whereby the centre is marked off from the periphery.

		Cosmology is a unique scientific discipline for combining a tight methodological connection between scientific practice with philosophical issues such as the anthropic principle, empirical data with theoretical tools and intellectual with existential inquiries.
		Contemporary Christian theology is grappling with a perceived dichotomy in its identity as a discipline.
		Cosmology and spirituality are related through an irreducibly foundational philosophical and theological project that seeks to uncover the polymorphic character of human consciousness ordered to differentiated patterns of experience.

	Prolegomena to a Bahá'í Theology
		Bahá'í theology is, moreover, based in faith rooted in the person of Bahá'u'lláh and his divine revelation, has a strong metaphysical bias, eschews dogmatism, and welcomes diversity.
		Bahá'í theology cannot be dogmatic in the normal sense of the word, that is, a final and duly perceived infallible doctrine imposed upon the believers by the institutions of religion.
		Essentialism is a realist philosophy and a unified system of theology and philosophy since it is at the same time a theology, a cosmology, an epistemology, and an ontology.

	Cosmology Challenges Theology
		The essence is that fundamentalists live in another century, that science is important in shaping theology, and that they are ignorant of that fact because they do not pursue their education to an adequate level.
		Completely alien to the philosophy of the article is that the understanding of reality imposed by quantum physics is again that of the pagan, and tends to violate the logical rules of cause and effect, as well as the absolutes of truth and falsehood associated with the Christian world view.
		It is the ultimate hypothetical case to suppose that cosmology were to open its doors to all ideas, natural, unnatural, and supernatural, but let's attempt it.

	PolyTheology: Developing Neopagan Theology
		Theology is not the mere quoting of scripture to tell you the word of god, although that may be what some fundamentalists do.
		Theology is defined monotheistically as "the field of study, thought, and analysis concerning the nature of God, His attributes, and His relations to the universe and humans in particular." More broadly it is the study of divine things or religious truth, usually a specific form or system as expounded by a particular religion or denomination.
		A second related sub-category, cosmology, the order or organization of the world or universe, explains why or how things seem to work the way they do and/or how they fit together, and, of course, where humans fit in.

		While the details of modern cosmology are not a necessary part of this argument, they provide interesting clues as to how an ultimate picture may be constructed.
		In cosmology, in contrast, we are faced with a unique universe, and must face the issue of its initial conditions.
		But the state of the art in early-universe cosmology is not the point; the lesson here is that we are not forced to think of boundary conditions being imposed arbitrarily at the earliest times.

	Discussing Pagan Theology - ADF Neopagan Druidism
		I enjoy theology and thinking about theology even though I consider it pretty secondary in Neopaganism.
		It doesn't seem as though the ancients spent a lot of time intellectualizing and explaining to themselves what their religion was about, and pagan religion isn't really based on believing a set of ideas.
		It's not really the same as Christian grace theology, since the concept of enlightenment doesn't exist in Christianity, but it's similar in that enlightenment is something that is bestowed upon you, not something you can earn.

	Introduction to the Ancient Essenes and the Modern Essene Church of Christ
		Since the Essene cosmology and theology reached its pinnacle in the teachings of Jesus -- he being the Messiah they had prepared for -- our focus will be the Essene cosmology and theology articulated by Jesus.
		Thus we will first consider Essene cosmology; for, the theology of any religious group is an outgrowth of their cosmology.
		We have defined cosmology as "the study of the origin and structure of the universe." According to Essene Kaballah mysticism, the universe originates with God.

		For instance, the creation- from-nothing theology can be cast as merely a coincedental analogy with the image of big bang cosmology.
		The same is true of cosmology and religion, he argued: the waters represent the notion in Western culture that science and religion must be separate; and the bedrock on which cosmology and religion rest is the notion of "contingency".
		Barbour said he was cautious about marrying cosmology with theology because "in the past God has often been invoked to explain gaps in the prevailing account.

		They may here conceive God in a way not everybody would accept, interactions between cosmology and theology often depending on which picture of God is preferred.
		When Hawking (1987, 1988) suggested that his own cosmology left "no place for a creator" since it made "What happened before the Bang, to cause it?" comparable to "What's Earth like to the north of the North Pole?", the theologians renewed their protests.
		Both in theology and in philosophy, talk of creation or causation does not necessarily assume the temporal priority of creative or causal agencies.

		"...a kind of summary of what is found in western literature on the subject of cosmology..." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
		This work attempts to begin the process of interpreting the major phases of Buddhist Cosmological speculation by seeing in them various dramas of salvation tailored to the philosophical and theological predilections of their respective traditions.
		To a large extent, this interpretation relies on an examination of continuities between the Buddhist cosmologies and those of the Hellensitic world as a whole.
