Astronomy and Theology

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, using observation and data analysis. Theology, on the other hand, explores questions about the divine, existence, and moral values through faith, scripture, and spiritual reflection. While astronomy seeks to understand the physical universe through empirical evidence, theology addresses meaning, purpose, and spiritual beliefs. Both can intersect when considering humanity's origins, existence, and our place in the cosmos, offering different perspectives—one scientific, the other spiritual—on the profound questions about our universe and existence.
