Cosmotheism

/ˈkɑzmoʊθiɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The belief that the cosmos or universe itself is divine, or that God and the universe are identical. This view sees divinity as inherent in the natural order and cosmic processes.

Etymology

From Greek 'kosmos' (universe, order) and 'theos' (god). The term emerged in philosophical discussions about whether the universe itself should be considered divine rather than created by a separate deity.

Kelly Says

Cosmotheism captures what many ancient astronomers felt when they discovered the mathematical beauty of planetary orbits—the sense that the universe's elegant laws might themselves be the face of God speaking in the language of physics!
