Cosmology: The Study of the Universe
Cosmology is the scientific study of the large scale properties of the Universe as a whole. It endeavors to use the scientific method to understand the origin, evolution [hey NASA, Junior says evolution is not a cosmological theory (ie "it don't do origins")] and ultimate fate of the entire Universe.

BTW: speaking of "don't do origins" Junior, doesn't biological evolution explain the ORIGIN of life on this planet?
