For the jazz band, see Cosmology (band).

Cosmology, from the Greek: κοσμολογία (cosmologia, κόσμος (cosmos) order + λογια (logia) discourse) is the study of the Universe in its totality, and by extension, humanity's place in it. Though the word cosmology is recent (first used in 1730 in Christian Wolff's Cosmologia Generalis), the study of the Universe has a long history involving science, philosophy, esotericism, and religion.

The Phoenix, perhaps the only *nix not GPLed. Plus the BSD Daemon hates im cuz rebirth doesn't fit into his strict dualistic cosmology.

"Divine Wilderness" piece says scientific cosmology is also spiritual, if properly understood. Chaos = a kind of order. http://bit.ly/3oE9FC
