Description

This Book explore the various ways humanity has attempted to explain the origins of the universe, ranging from ancient creation myths to modern scientific theories. Ancient Mesopotamian and Babylonian epics, such as Enuma Elish, are compared with the biblical Genesis account to reveal shared motifs of primordial chaos and the separation of waters. In contrast, the Big Bang theory provides a physical framework for the cosmos’s expansion from a high-density state, supported by evidence like cosmic radiation. Some perspectives suggest that theology and cosmology are not in conflict, as they address different questions regarding “why” versus “how” existence began. Additionally, contemporary discussions speculate on cosmic inflation and what might have existed before the current universe, highlighting the ongoing philosophical and scientific quest for ultimate truth.
