Cosmology is a term describing any comprehensive model of the Universe, its origin and the position of the Solar System, the Earth and the Homo Sapien species within it. The study of just the origin of the Universe is now referred to as Cosmogony.

A Cosmology of a Religion or Cult may still be culturally valid even if it does not precisely adhere to the doctrines of Science, also known as the Theology of Scientism. This is because Science itself is a religion predicated on several fanatical presumptions including that a Divine Creator cannot possibly exist and that any evidence of supreme paradox is an error which can be eventually solved.

All Religions and some Cults possess some kind of Cosmology at some level of completeness within their doctrine and sacred texts. In many cases, the Cosmological model of creation represents the foundation and oldest sacred texts of a particular Religion or Cult.

A model of creation, the Universe, the Solar System, the Earth and the Homo Sapien species cannot be classified as a Cosmology unless it meets the following essential and common characteristics shared by all culturally valid Cosmologies of all Religions and Cults, namely:

(i) the model defines a starting point of existence before the existence of the Solar System, other Stars and Planets; and

(ii) the model defines a process of Creation and by what alleged forces such events took place; and

(iii) the model defines the separation of matter into very large objects such as galaxies, or star systems or then planets or their topography such as earth, sea and atmosphere; and

(iv) the model defines the creation and evolution of life on planet Earth, including the arrival of the Homo Sapien species.

(v) the model defines a Universe that separates Homo Sapiens from other life, the planet from other planets, space from planets and stars.

The most comprehensive and accurate Cosmology is the canons of Natural Law in accordance with these canons.

When speaking or defining Cosmology it shall mean the Canons of Natural Law.
