What can science tell us about the beginning of the universe - and what must remain a question of philosophy, faith, and human responsibility?
In Human and Cosmos, Rayford Aquirre brings contemporary cosmology into disciplined conversation with ancient creation narratives and Christian theology. From the expansion of the universe, the cosmic microwave background, dark matter, and the possible fate of the cosmos to Genesis, Babylonian and Egyptian traditions, Greek and Norse myth, Vedic speculation, Chinese cosmogony, and selected Māori accounts, this book explores how different traditions speak about origin, order, time, suffering, and human purpose.
Aquirre refuses both easy conflict and artificial harmony. Scientific evidence is allowed to remain scientific. Sacred texts are read in their historical and literary contexts. Christian faith is presented openly as conviction - not disguised as a conclusion extracted from cosmology.
The result is a thoughtful, poetic, and intellectually rigorous journey through some of humanity's oldest and most difficult questions:
Why is there something rather than nothing?
Can the universe be understood as creation without misusing science?
What does it mean to be human in a cosmos of immense age and scale?
And how should our beliefs shape the way we live now?
For readers of science, philosophy, theology, mythology, and serious reflective nonfiction, Human and Cosmos offers meaning without false certainty - and wonder without surrendering reason.
