Suteja, Hardiansyah (2009): The New Cosmology: Its Implications to Religiousity.

Abstract

In the latest development of cosmological theory, which one of them is the Big Bang, most religious circles, and some scientists, see this as an affirmative sign of creation tradition based on the Scriptures. At the same time, on the other hand, not a few argued that the development of astronomy, cosmology and the discipline and its derivatives are not necessarily justify the creation of the universe by God. The following paper will highlight the pro- and contra- surrounding and emerge at the latest developments and the implications of cosmology for religiosity as well as show the misrelation between them.
