And you can probably wrap philosphy and cosmology under the theology unbrella.

Wrong, my novice friend. Both are subdivisions of philosophy. Science was once called natural philosophy, to distingush it from theology.

"Wrong, my novice friend. Both are subdivisions of philosophy. " It's semantics as to which are subfields of the other. Philosphy without theology is adrift without an anchor with no moral absolutes.

I hardly see cosmology as a subfield of philosophy. My theological views offer an explanation of cosmology. It's incomplete, doesn't answer how, but it does answer Who. And it is clear theology influences the interpretation of the evidence for cosmology.
