ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mormon cosmology

Mormon cosmology is like a really big story about how the world and everything in it was made according to the beliefs of the Mormon religion. In this story, God created the universe and everything in it, including the Earth and all the people and animals that live on it.

According to Mormon cosmology, God is like a really powerful wizard with magic powers who can control everything. God has a lot of helpers in this story, called angels, who help him create everything.

The story goes that before the Earth was created, all the things that would be on it were already existing as spirits, kind of like invisible people. Then, God decided to create the physical world and put the spirits into bodies.

Mormons believe that the first humans on Earth were Adam and Eve, and that they lived in a beautiful place called the Garden of Eden. But they were kicked out after they broke a rule by eating some fruit that they weren't supposed to eat.

After that, the story goes on to talk about things like Jesus coming to Earth and helping people, and what will happen at the end of the world.

So, to sum it up, Mormon cosmology is like a big story about how God created the world and all the things in it, including people and animals, and what's going to happen in the future.
