The only significant difference between the creative work of the cosmos and that of a living cell is their relative scales of space and time.

Cosmology is the discipline that deals with the nature of the Universe as a whole. Cosmologists seek to understand the origin, evolution, structure, and ultimate fate of the Universe at large, as well as the natural laws that keep it in order. Modern cosmology is currently dominated by the Big Bang theory, which brings together observational astronomy and particle physics.

The  fields of cosmology and astrophysics offers a wealth of opportunities for responsible science writers and science critics. Recent discoveries are creating a higher level of tension between science and religion, and are begging for explanations that help justify the high cost of conducting crucial experiments.
