Cosmology, for example, only forecasts an end to the universe. If persons and the cosmos are to rise up anew in the eschaton, such an event will have to be a willful act of God. Thus, while modern science can offer aid in constructing models for picturing what \"resurrection of the body\" could mean, the warrant for this belief must come from distinctly theological resources such as divine revelation.
