Summary / Abstract (Note) | Religions have conceptualized the cosmos, its Creator, and its origin. The major monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have philosophized on the creation of the Earth and man by a conscious act of God. The religions of the Orient-Hinduism and Sikhism-have a different visualization of the emergence of the universe and living beings on the Earth. This article provides a brief exposition and a comparative analysis of the scriptural differences in relation to the cosmos. In particular, the focus is on a comprehension expounded in Sikh scriptures with emphasis on the meaning therein for the Big Bang theory and exact time of creation, expanse of the universe, evolution of life, conservation of energy, and the end of the universe with cyclical repetition. |
