From the birth of the cosmos to the myths of ancient civilizations, this book is a journey into humanity's deepest questions: Where do we come from? Why are we here? Through the intertwined lenses of science, myth, and religion, it traces the many ways we have tried to understand the origins of the universe—and ourselves.

Step into the realms of modern cosmology, exploring the Big Bang, dark matter, multiverse theories, and the quantum fabric of reality. Wander through the world's great creation myths, from the temples of Babylon and Egypt to the sagas of the Norse gods, the tales of ancient India, and the cosmic dances of China. Then enter the heart of the Christian vision, where creation springs from the Word, and Christ is seen as the origin, purpose, and redeemer of the cosmos.

Rather than settling on a single answer, this book brings these perspectives into rich dialogue. It reveals that origin stories are more than explanations—they are maps of meaning, shaping identity, purpose, and awe. Moving from the physics of galaxies to the poetic symbols of old, it invites you to reflect on the relationship between humanity, the cosmos, and the enduring mystery of existence.
