Abstract (EN)

Throughout the historical process, humanity's knowledge of the universe and its nature has been renewed and developed. With the acceleration of scientific activities in the last century, our previous perceptions about the universe we live in have changed. The change in the scientific field has also affected the fields of religion and philosophy. Scientific research on the structure of the universe has shown us that we live in an ever-expanding, gigantic universe. The world located in this universe is very small compared to the universe in which it is located. It is natural to the mind of every person who realizes and examines this structure of the universe; Was there a need for such a large universe to sustain our vital activities? Why were other galaxies and planets created? Is not this extravagance for the Creator? Is man a being dragged into aimlessness in this gigantic universe? such questions arise. The content of the approaches to the human-universe relationship is shaped within the framework of the answers we will give to such questions. The nature of the cosmic system, which affects all humanity and its perspective on religion, is important when evaluated from this perspective. The main purpose of our study is to determine the reasons underlying our existence in a large universe, whether creating extra-distant parts of the universe is a waste for God, and in the context of the interaction of the large universe model with humans, modern cosmological data and human-universe relationship are not deprived of purpose. In this context, it has been tried to find answers to such questions in the presence of scientific data by making use of the findings of cosmology, astronomy, physics and psychology. Since the understanding that the universe is expanding and that we live in a very large universe was realized in the first half of the 20th century, no studies on the necessity of the large universe model and what it means for humans have been encountered in the classical literature. On the other hand, it has been seen that the thesis, article and book type studies that we have examined have dealt with the issue in a very limited and superficial way. Studies on this subject do not explain in detail what the countless stars and galaxies in the wide universe mean to people, why we live in a large universe, the role of the large universe in man's finding the ultimate meaning, and the relationship between the wide universe model and the creator. In this research, which was carried out to fill this gap in the field, it was determined that the wide universe model is necessary for human beings to achieve a high level of development and for civilizations to make technological and scientific progress. In addition, in our study, three different proofs of the existence of the creator have been expressed by using the wide universe model, contrary to the thoughts of existentialists and materialists, who state that human beings are dragged towards nothingness and meaninglessness based on the wide universe model, and who claim the absence of a creative element in this direction.
