Describe the Christian Cosmology and the cosmology of one other religion (Ai)
Cosmology is the word given to the study of the origin and structure of the universe. The Christian cosmology is located at the start of the Bible in Genesis Chapter 1 and 2. However, these two accounts are slightly different as to how creation took place.
Each part of the creations was because of God’s words – ‘God said, “Let there be light”, and there was light’
In Genesis Chapter 1, God created the universe in 6 days. In the beginning God created the Earth and Heaven. The earth had no form and there was darkness, so God created light by separating it from the dark. He called the light Day and the darkness Night. On the second day God separated the Earth from the Sky and called the sky heavens. On day three he created the dry lands, plants and trees. On the fourth day He created the sun, moon and stars. On the fifth day He created the fish and birds to inhabit the seas, and on day six he created the animals and humans.
