As a subject, cosmology studies the large-scale structure of the cosmos, and thus founds its study method in the face of cosmic variables and phenomena on verifiability and positivist principles and the critical philosophy axiom, with the truth and justifiability of its theorems depending on the impressionability and adaptability of mathematical conclusions to impressions. However, it has thus far failed to produce a comprehensive cosmic model. This article uses Mulla Sadra’s epistemological basics in a descriptive-analytical method to analyze the very principle of verifiability and philosophy of mathematics, and thus answers the two questions of whether or not the propositions extracted from cosmologists’ research are scientific or pseudo-scientific from the perspective of Mulla Sadra, and the possibility of producing a comprehensive model of the creation and perfection of cosmic variables? It was found that for Mulla Sadr, all cosmologists’ theorems were scientific propositions, and based on the principle of verifiability, a comprehensive cosmic model could not be produced, because imperceptible variables were out of their sphere of studies. However, like realists, Mulla Sadra considered mathematics to be infinite and abstract, while originating from the world of imagination capable of describing cosmic perceptible and imperceptible phenomena.
