After all, it has taken humans eons of time simply to scratch the surface of the cosmological unknown. Hence, we must find ways in which to cope with mystery. One such way in which we deal with the mystery in the universe is religion. For religion does its best to explain things that science cannot. Religion gives meaning to love and compassion.
Religion gives meaning to death and life.
Religion even attempts to explain why humans are here and what their purpose is. Humans have developed many cosmological pictures using religion. For instance, many cultures articulate the mystery and behavior of the universe through mythology. Judeo-Christian mythology, for example, represents the beginning of the universe through a cosmic light . New Guinea mythology, however, views the universe as Death the Creator, enunciating the power by which life and death seem to complement each other.
