What is Cosmology and the Philosophy of Science?

In summary, cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe. It seeks to understand the fundamental laws of nature and the physical processes that govern the universe. The philosophy of science, on the other hand, examines the underlying principles and assumptions of scientific knowledge and how it is acquired and validated. It also explores the relationship between science and other areas of human knowledge, such as religion and philosophy. Together, cosmology and the philosophy of science aim to provide a deeper understanding of the universe and our place within it.

Just signed on today. Not a physics student. I have liberal arts background from way back in the 90s. However, I was lucky enough to take a couple of science bridging courses and have continuing interest in Cosmology and the Philosophy of Science. Hopefully I'll understand something here.
