Future Interdisciplinary Convergences with Theology: A Constructive Postmodern Trend

Abstract

As advanced by Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, astronomy, biology, astrobiology, and cosmology converge with theology. Microbes came to Earth from stardust and comets. And thus, microbiology is essentially dependent upon astronomy, astrochemistry, astrophysics, and study of comets. Moreover, astrobiological processes require cosmic fine-tuning (the subject matter of cosmology) by cosmic intelligence (the subject matter of theology). Reciprocally, Hartshornean natural theology (panentheism) yields biology and psychology (panspermia and panpsychism) with cosmological scope.
