Abstract

[A subtitle for this paper might have been ‘Creation, Conservation and the Cloak of Night’ – for it is these semantical knots in the reticulum of contemporary cosmology which I shall seek to unravel, or at least to re-knot. Clearly, much of the fabric of scientific cosmology is rent and torn by sharp breaks in exposition and by jagged misunderstandings of philosophical principle. I may come to grief on these same reefs, but the course must be sailed.]
