This may put beliefs on origin in the defecate of a creation myth, subsequent evolution, current organizational produce and nature, as living as eventual fate or destiny. There are various traditions in religion or religious mythology asserting how and why everything is the way it is for and the significance of it all. Religious cosmologies describe the spatial lay-out of the universe in terms of the world in which people typically dwell as alive as other dimensions, such as the seven dimensions of religion; these are ritual, experiential and emotional, narrative and mythical, doctrinal, ethical, social, and material.

Religious mythologies may add descriptions of an act or process of creation by a creator deity or a larger pantheon of deities, explanations of the transformation of chaos into order, or the assertion that existence is a matter of endless cyclical transformations. Religious cosmology differs from a strictly scientific cosmology informed by the results of the analyse of astronomy and similar fields, and may differ in conceptualizations of the world's physical order and place in the universe, its creation, and forecasts or predictions on its future.
