Genesiology

/ˌdʒɛnɪziˈɒlədʒi/ noun

Definition

The study of genesis, origin, creation, or the process of how things come into being; sometimes used in philosophy and theology.

Etymology

From Greek 'genesis' (origin) + '-logy' (study of, from 'logos' meaning word or reason). The term combines the root for creation with the root for systematic study.

Kelly Says

Genesiology bridges science and philosophy—cosmologists studying the Big Bang, embryologists studying fetal development, and theologians asking about creation are all practising different forms of genesiology.
