ABSTRACT
The new understanding of cosmology leads to some serious questions for dogmatic religions. God would be a candidate to make the decision concerning the atomic decay. Hints from physics concerning the existence of God have come from thermodynamics, cosmology and quantum mechanics. Thermodynamics is the study of heat and its transformation into work as in internal combustion and other engines. The entropy properties of the models became a prime occupation so that even within general relativistic cosmology some excitement about thermodynamics remained unabated. Relativistic cosmology thus offers a modern interpretation of the heat death should there be an indefinite expansion of the universe. Modern cosmology has given new concepts and mechanisms for the early universe. Cosmology enriches the background of theological discourse. Conversely, theological considerations can remind forgetful scientists that the very nature of science forces limitations upon it.
