Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 10, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?:-The lead section needs a lot of work (the universe in philosophy is not mentioned in the body). There is also a tag complaining about the informal tone in the article.

2. Factually accurate?:-There are citation tags all over the article. The lack of citations make some elements at least seem like original research such as the place underneath the formal tone tag. I would ask that you refrain from putting an article for a GA nomination with tags on the article, even if it is after an AID.

3. Broad in coverage?:-This article fails to consider philosophical and religous views on the origin of the universe.

4. Neutral point of view?:-Lack of citations and selective information would give the indication of POV, but I believe this is more a verifiability and broad in coverage problem.

5. Article stability?-No edit war that I can see

6. Images?:-Good amount of images

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far.
