Comparative analysis of ancient and modern cosmologies and philosophical questions
Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies
A comparative analysis of ancient and modern cosmologies (Genesis/Babylonian models vs. Einstein/Quantum Theory). The course focuses on the philosophical question of God's role in a scientifically self-regulating universe (deism, process theology).
Genesis shares concepts like watery chaos and firmament with Babylonian texts but uniquely presents one God creating by sovereign word rather than divine conflict.
Models include theistic evolution (God through natural processes), deism (God as initial creator), and process theology (God as persuader within process).
Many theologians read Genesis as theological (who and why) not scientific (how and when), allowing compatibility with scientific cosmology.
