description: When it first appeared, this lucid exposition embodied the author's most advanced thinking on such topics as the finitude or infinity of the universe in space, the age of the universe, theories of "continuous creation", the rival claims made for the use of "ordinary" and "special deductive" methods in cosmological inquiry, and the meaning and importance of theory-construction in scientific cosmology. All currently relevant subject matter has been retained here; this edition also incorporates many revisions and an entirely new chapter that explores the feasibility of reconciling the scientific and theological views of the origin of the universe.
