The Big Bang is a myth, says Paul Brockelman in this look at the spiritual side of modern cosmology. But it is a myth in the best sense – a fully realized creation story, one that, for all its scientific origins, has the power to transform us spiritually. In Cosmology and Creation, philosopher and religious scholar Brockelman seeks to bridge the gap between the scientific and the spiritual, to bring together (as he puts it) the head and the heart.
