O evento acústico está presente em todos os momentos da vida da espécie humana. Para o homem arcaico, as emanações sonoras foram responsáveis pela criação e desenvolvimento do Universo. Cada emanação sonora se materializou simbólicamente em um Ente Sobrenatural, desvelado pelo homem pelos sons onomatopaicos para poder se comunicar com Ele. A perenização simbólica foi definida pela representação constante dos atos de criação sonoros por meio de histórias coletivas para que permanecessem na memória. Na medida em que são tidos como verídicos e modelos para a conduta humana, toda a comunidade os absorve e consume intelectualmente. Nesta pesquisa analisamos a interrelação entre memória, mito, consumo, gestos sonoros inaugurais e simbolismo, oralmente expressos nos mitos cosmogônicos, responsáveis pela origem do universo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Mito; memória; consumo; cosmologia; simbolismo. ABSTRACT The acoustic event is present in every moment of the life of the human species. For the ancient man, the sound emanations were responsible for the creation and development of the universe. Each sonorous emanation materialized symbolically in a Supernatural Entity, unveiled by man by onomatopaics sounds to be able to communicate to it. The symbolic continuity was defined by the constant representation of the sound creation through acts of collective stories to remain in memory. In so far as they are regarded as truthful and models for human conduct, the whole community absorbs and consumes them intellectually. In this study we analyze the interrelationship between memory, myth, consumption, opening sound gestures and symbolism, orally expressed in the cosmogonic myths, responsible for the origin of the universe. KEYWORDS: Myth; memory; consumption; cosmology; symbolism. RESUMEN El evento acústico está presente en cada momento de la vida de la especie humana.

En la medida en que se miran como veraz y modelos humanos, toda la comunidad la absorben y consumen intelectualmente. En este estudio se analiza la relación entre memoria, mito, simbolismo de consumo, apertura y sonido gestos, oralizados en los mitos cosmogónicos, responsables por el origen del universo.

Transhumanism is one of the main “ideologies of the future” that has emerged in recent decades. Its program for the enhancement of the human species during this century pursues the ultimate goal of immortality, through the creation of human brain emulations. Therefore, transhumanism offers its fol- lowers an explicit eschatology, a vision of the ultimate future of our civilization that in some cases coincides with the ultimate future of the universe, as in Frank Tipler’s Omega Point theory. The essay aims to analyze the points of comparison and opposition between transhumanist and Christian eschatologies, in particular considering the “incarnationist” view of Parousia. After an introduction concern- ing the problems posed by new scientific and cosmological theories to traditional Christian eschatology, causing the debate between “incarnationists” and “escha- tologists,” the article analyzes the transhumanist idea of mind-uploading through the possibility of making emulations of the human brain and perfect simulations of the reality we live in. In the last section the problems raised by these theories are analyzed from the point of Christian theology, in particular the proposal of a transhuman species through the emulation of the body and mind of human beings. The possibility of a transhumanist eschatology in line with the incarnationist view of Parousia is refused.

Resumen: En su último libro Hawking y Mlodinow afirman que la teoría M unifica las teorías físicas, contiene las leyes más fundamentales y responde las grandes preguntas de la humanidad. Es decir, el despliegue del universo se reduciría a un conjunto de leyes único. Este trabajo pretende: 1) Señalar algunos supuestos epistemológicos asumidos sin sufi­ciente fundamentación. 2) Proponer las nociones de condiciones iniciales, comienzo y origen, como un marco adecuado para distinguir las diferentes dimensiones del problema cosmológico. 3) Desde esta distinción enfatizar la importancia del trabajo interdisciplinar para estudiar los temas de frontera entre la ciencia y la filosofía. Palabras clave: modelos cosmológico, Steven Hawking, condiciones iniciales, evolución cósmica, origen del universo. Abstract. In their last book Hawking and Mlodinow argue that M-Theory unifies physi­cal theories, contains the most fundamental laws and answers the great questions of humanity. Namely, the unfolding of the universe would be reduced to a single set of laws. This paper seeks: 1) to identify some epistemological assumptions made with insufficient justification; 2) to propose the notion of initial conditions, beginning and origin as an ap­propriate framework to distinguish different dimensions of the cosmological problem; 3) from this distinction to emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary work to study bor­der issues between science and philosophy. Keywords: cosmological models, Steven Hawking, initial conditions, cosmic evolution, origin of the universe. Recibido: 16/02/2013 Aprobado: 18/04/2013

Every civilization in the history of humanity has had its myth of creation. Humans have a deeply rooted and seemingly insatiable desire to understand not only their own origins but also the origins of other things around them. Most if not all of the myths since the dawn of man involve some kind of higher or supernatural beings which are intimately related to the existence and functioning of all things in the Universe. Modern man still holds a multitude of different views of the ultimate origin of the Universe, though a couple of the most well represented religions, Christianity and Islam, maintain that there was a single creator responsible for all that we see around us. It is a predominant belief in Catholicism, accounting for about one-sixth of humanity, that the Creator achieved full creation of the Universe out of nothing – a belief that goes under the name of creation ex nihilo. (To be fair, not all Catholics believe this, but they ought to if they follow the Pope.) Postulating a supernatural being does not really help explain reality since then we only displace the question of the origins of reality to explaining the existence of the supernatural being. To this no religion offers any real answers. If you think that scientists might have a vastly more insightful understanding of the origin of the Universe compared to that of major religions, then you’d better think again. Admittedly, most scientists are probably atheists (interestingly, more than 95% in the United Kingdom) but this does not necessarily mean that they do not hold some kind of a belief about what the Creation was like and where all this stuff around us comes from. The point is that, under all the postulates and axioms, if you dig far enough, you’ll find that they are as stumped as anyone else. So, from the point of view of explaining why there is a reality and where it ultimately comes from, being religious or not makes absolutely no difference – we all end up with the same tricky question. Every time I read a book on the religious or philosophical outlook of the world I cannot help but recognize many ideas in there as related to some ideas that we have in science.

I argue that the lived experience we, the human species, are going through in 2020 is no longer an epoch of changes but a change of epoch. Post-pandemic (and any other areas of experience you could post-) is becoming meaningless in a change of epoch. My argument is based on the history of the colonial matrix of power rather than in particular thematic histories which, in this case, will be the history of pandemics and the history of the economy. Both are working together, globally now, and entangled in the colonial matrix of power, which can not be found in the origin of the universe, in Babylon or in Greece. It did not exist until the 16th century in the Atlantic, the Black and the White, the North and the South. The logic of coloniality is the logic of the invisible and it is by understanding its historical foundation, its unfolding and the radical transformations in the past two decades, that the signs of the change of epoch can be perceived and understood.

The Holy Quran is primarily a book of divine guidance for humanity but it also includes the verses related to the creation and organization of the universe. There are almost 700 verses which talk about the pattern of creation of the universe and the mastery of its creator. These verses are meant to guide people till the Day of Judgment. The factual theory of creation is presented in the Quran in a scientific and rational way and with the development of scientific tools and methods these facts have been discovered by the scientists as well. Therefore, when the scientific information was gathered through rational and empirical methods and compared to the Quranic information, it was concluded that Quran has reported true information centuries earlier. It helped dissolution of many doubts and caused a lot many physicists to accept Islam. The Holy Quran rejected the materialistic, atheistic interpretations of the beginning of the universe and offered an alternative logical view of a universe operated by an omnipotent and omniscient God. This research article is an elaborate study of the Quranic and scientific interpretations of the origin of the universe.

Science in human life is very important to illuminate every walk of life, both physical (material) and metaphysical (immaterial). The universe was born millions and even billions of years ago, so many astronomical physicists calculate the origin of the universe, so the creation of the theory of bigbang, black holes, dark energy, dark matter, newton gravity, etc. Astronomy is important in teaching to know the phenomena of the universe (general), and to know times of worship (specifically). Before entering the science, it is better to know the history of astronomy, both the history of theory, and the figures then the hierarchy between geocentric and heliocentric in several views, both from the view of a character, as well as the view of the scriptures. Indeed, when humans think about the universe, in this case about the center of the universe there will be a hierarchy with the scriptures. This is a matter between different reason and revelation. Therefore, in this paper I touch on the issue of Heliocentric and Geocentric. And do not forget the astronomical figures from the West and East.

Every great fiction book is a book that portrays the uniqueness of the universe and man, the difficulty of breaking that bond, or the weakening of its bond and the increase in human. The creation of such a book is beyond the reach of all creators, and not all works can illuminate the cultural, spiritual and moral status of any nation in the world by unraveling the underlying foundations of humanity. With the birth of Hoja Ahmad Yassawi's “Devoni Hikmat”, the Turkic nations were recognized as a nation with its own book of teaching, literally, the encyclopedia of enlightenment, truth and spirituality.
