Summary/Abstract: The text provides a summary of the arguments that justify the anthropological pursuit of modern cosmology, especially its receptive and popular expression. It proposes theoretical observation of popular cosmology, especially its cosmogonic segment, as a form of modern secularized myth that contains the characteristics of a conventional folklore narrative. It provides a short set of ideas that contextualize popular cosmology into a culture war waged by certain Christian theologians and secular philosophers at the turn of the millennium. The paper points out potentials of the anthropological perspective of popular cosmology.
