“A lot of people they don’t know that Africans even named the stars, that different peoples, different so-called native peoples, have their own names for the stars, and have star charts just as accurate as the Chinese star charts, which are more ancient than the European star charts or even the Arabic ones or the star charts of the New World civilizations. Everybody’s got their own cosmology. Everybody’s got their own description of the universe.” PeopleKnowsWorldDifferentUniverseNamesStarsCivilizationAncientChineseNativeDescriptionNew WorldAccurateDifferent PeoplesCosmology Book:The Healing Source: The Healing

“I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe? Well most people get over it, but I never did and though I made a career more in physics and cosmology than astrobiology I've always had a soft spot for the subject of life because it does seem so mysterious.” PeopleThinkingWellsLooksDoeMadeSeemsNightUniverseInterestCareersSkySubjectsPhysicsSpotsMysteriousTeenagerLook UpOver ItElsewhereTeensGet OverCosmology Author:Paul Davies
“In the popular mind, if Hoyle is remembered it is as the prime mover of the discredited Steady State theory of the universe. "Everybody knows" that the rival Big Bang theory won the battle of the cosmologies, but few (not even astronomers) appreciate that the mathematical formalism of the now-favoured version of Big Bang, called inflation, is identical to Hoyle's version of the Steady State model.” IfsKnowsMindStatesBigsUniverseTheoryBattleModelsAppreciateVersionsMathematicalRememberedPrimeSteadyInflationBangsRivalsIdenticalCosmologyAstronomers Author:Fred Hoyle
“Each person discovers a field of allurements, the totality of which bears the unique stamp of that person’s personality. Destiny unfolds in the pursuit of individual fascinations and interests...

“Sacred scripture wishes simply to declare that the world was created by God, and in order to teach this truth it expressed itself in terms of the cosmology in use at the time of the writer. Any other teaching about the origin and makeup of the universe is so alien to the intentions of the Bible, which does not wish to teach how heaven was made but how one goes to heaven.” WorldDoeMadeUseOrderUniverseHeavenWishTermTeachTeachingSacredIntentionScriptureAliensMakeupCosmologySacred Scripture Author:Pope John Paul II

“A scenario is suggested by which the universe and its laws could have arisen naturally from nothing. Current cosmology suggests that no laws of physics were violated in bringing the universe into existence. The laws of physics themselves are shown to correspond to what one would expect if the universe appeared from nothing. There is something rather than nothing because something is more stable.” IfsLawUniverseExistenceAtheismCurrentsPositive AtheismPhysicsStableScenariosCosmologyLaws Of Physics Author:Victor J. Stenger
“The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.” WorldFirstsBodyEarthTogetherUniverseStarsCommonParticularRootsAstronomyGlobesCelestialCosmologyCelestial Bodies Author:Francis Bacon
“Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history.
