The article is about upper secondary students’ worldviews and how they relate different contributionsto their worldviews to one another. We are especially focusing on contributions from physics andfrom religion. The context we have chosen for the study is cosmology, which is the frame within whichthe discussions with the students take place. In this paper we will let three students’ stories about existentialissues related to cosmology illustrate how the students, when talking about their own views,relate to and handle the views they associate with physics. These students’ stories will also illustratethat while atheistic worldviews are supported religious worldviews are put into question, by thestudents’ views of the physics’ worldview. This will be discussed together with implications for physicsteaching.Downloads
