THEOLOGICAL HERMENEUTICS OF CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC COSMOLOGY
THEOLOGICAL HERMENEUTICS OF CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC COSMOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Present cosmology cannot provide any scientific doubtless evidence about the origin and fate of our universe. Present cosmology belonging to the field of either quantum physics or mechanics, or to astronomy is determined by positivist mentality‟s ideal and purpose. Modern science, despite its huge success in various fields, still remained in the area of positivist mentality and culture. Therefore, contemporary cosmology is both neo-positivist and evolutionist. Christian theology must take an interest in the achievements of modern science, but it should not take a risk and start a dialog with a complete deaf and dumb field when it comes to discuss about transcendence. Scientists today accept metaphysical explanations beyond the limits of scientific knowledge, yet not God‟s transcendence as a creator of this world. Some scientists agree to a metaphysical origin of the world, yet not the presence of a personal God who should work or act in the world.
