theism and physical cosmology early Church Fathers opposing Aristotelian doctrine of eternality of universe ‐ in favor of biblical doctrine of temporal creatio ex nihilo Vilenkin's theory of quantum creation ‐ how the universe could have come into being out of nothing theism and physical eschatology physical eschatology ‐ a very bleak and very different picture of the future than that of Christian eschatology Christian view, God will bring about ‐ the end of human history and the present cosmos at such time as he deems fit fine‐tuning of the universe for intelligent life anthropic theorists, the principle ‐ implying that no explanation of basic features of our universe need be sought the anthropic principle being impotent ‐ unless conjoined with a profoundly metaphysical vision of reality multiverse hypothesis ‐ facing a potentially lethal objection, the measurement problem
