Cosmos ex Natura: Part II

Abstract

In this article, we are first going to look at each of the traditional views of major religions and see how well they actually address the existential dilemma in their cosmological narratives and then compare these with the difficulties and perceived limitations of the scientific description. This will then provide a more level playing field, in which the scientific description, which is already founded on the skeptical principle, as a root means of testing validity, can be compared with religious cosmological narratives based on affirmative belief, and religious narratives put to the same kind of scrutiny. Part II of this article include: 5. Mayan and Christian Redeemer's Blood; 6. Vedantic and Buddhist Cosmologies; 7. the ‘Other’: Kali and the Feminine Power of Living Space-time; 8. Shakti Cosmology in the Kali Yuga; and 9. The Perennial Tao.
