TL;DR: The uneasy relationship between religion and scientific cosmology never ceased, and in the twentieth century religious issues even played a role in debates between rival cosmological theories as discussed by the authors, and questions of this kind were widely discussed and they are still discussed in the twenty-first century, where new cosmology ideas have reinvigorated the cosmology-religion debate and made it even more complex.
Abstract: © Helge Kragh Through most of human history, cosmology and religion have been closely intertwined, and such was still the case during the scientific revolution. More recent developments in physics and astronomy, however, resulted in cosmological views that challenged the belief in a divinely created world. The uneasy relationship between religion and scientific cosmology never ceased, and in the twentieth century religious issues even played a role in debates between rival cosmological theories. Does the universe have a beginning in time? If so, is it an argument for theism? Questions of this kind were widely discussed and they are still discussed in the twenty-first century, where new cosmological ideas have reinvigorated the cosmology-religion debate and made it even more complex.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of suggestions as to why Mill's utilitarianism may be inconsistent on naturalism are given the drift from its historical Judeo-Christian moorings.
Abstract: John Stuart Mill's utilitarian principle of the greatest happiness for the greatest number, often surfaces in cultural debates in the contemporary West over the extent and foundations of moral duties. Given the drift from its historical Judeo-Christian moorings, naturalism now provides much of the epistemic grounding in Western culture in relation to moral duties. The amalgamation of Mill’s utilitarianism and naturalism has resulted in a cultural and epistemic disconnect. Naturalism is hard-pressed to provide consistent epistemic support for Mill’s utilitarian principle. This essay provides a number of suggestions as to why Mill’s utilitarianism may be inconsistent on naturalism.

TL;DR: The modern world's ecological and economic crises result from its reductionist, mechanistic, and materialistic worldview as discussed by the authors, a role awqāf traditionally played in Islamic civilization that needs to be recovered today.
Abstract: The modern world’s ecological and economic crises result from its reductionist, mechanistic, and materialistic worldview. This study of Islamic economics – based on its metaphysical and cosmological sciences – reveals a path to economic justice and ecological equilibrium that requires recovering the Islamic intellectual heritage and establishing corresponding Islamic scientific, technological, economic, and other social structures for spiritually meaningful work and integral development; a role awqāf traditionally played in Islamic civilization that needs to be recovered today. This path, which was lost during the colonial period, requires integrating the findings of modern science into higher orders of knowledge, allowing man to live in harmony with himself, his community, and nature. This achieves both “vertical” and “horizontal” equilibrium, the intersection of which symbolizes the integration of all of life around a sacred center. This can also increase the number and vitality of contemporary awqāf, which Syed Khalid Rashid so rightly calls for in his lead article (Rashid, 2018).
