    If man had never developed, never came into existence, would theology exist?

    Unless some other creature developed that could talk - no. Theology means 'words about God'.

    Similarly, cosmology (words about the universe) wouldn't exist either.

    The systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment? Not without a creature capable of carrying out such study, observation and experimentation.
