VEDANTA   Vs    COSMOLOGY

"Ancient  Vedanta ( *Hindu ) Cosmology presents  a  remarkably  detailed and  quantitative vision  of  Cyclic  evolution .  - - - - -- -one  kind  of  cycle  correspond  to  a day or a  night  of  Brahma's  life, another  to  a year , yet  another  to  one hundred  years  and  so on .
Converted  to  Earth  Years,  some  of  these  levels  have  Cycling  periods  that  are surprisingly  similar  to Timescales  of  interest  in  contemporary  Cosmology , A  day  and  a  night  in the  life  of  Brahma  last  a  Kalpa  , a  period  of  8 .64  billion years , roughly  the  duration  of  the  matter  dominatd  epoch  in  Modern  Cosmology .
The  Vishnu Purana  say  that  each  of  these  cycles   is  followed   by  a  Drought  that  lasts  untill  all  the  water  dries  up.
In  Modern  Cosmology,  Matter-  domination  is  followed  by  Dark-Energy  Domination."

Comment :
While  Western  Theology  said  that  the  Universe  Was   CREATED   only 4000  years  back  by  God ,  here  is  an  Oriental  Spiritual  exposition  of  Vedanta  of  ' Sanatan  Dharma '  of   5  to  7  thousand  Years  back  , admired  even  by  Modern Cosmology .
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Hindu ( A  post  Christian-period  logo)  is  a Slang  word  , enforced    by   Persian Invaders   and branching out  from  Shankaracharya's  'Brahmanya  Dharmsa'( Like  Buddha's  separating  out  of  Vedanta  Practices )  and  as  such  should  be  properly evaluated and applied.
