Is cosmology theology?

Another nice graphic by Flip Tomato. A couple of things I noticed that I’d like to mention. Flip Tomato considers “our solar system” astronomy but “our galaxy & galaxy cluster” to be cosmology. To me everything observable is astronomy.

He also takes care to write “the observable universe” and avoids the Famous Big Bang Trope.

Or does he? I am not sure.

But I liked the arrow labeled “theology” starting from humans and pointing to the expanding universe.

I think if the arrow points to the observable universe it will not be theology. Only when physicists pun the observable universe with the whole universe that theology happens.
