Cosmology:
Cosmology is the science of the origin/development of the universe. For Zoroastrianism cosmology they believe that universe is Ahura Mazda or another name is Wise Lord and past he in infinite time and space. Ahura Mazda is believed to also be the twin spirits, Spenta Mainyu the Holy or Bountiful Spirit and Angra Mainyu the Destructive or Opposing Spirit, they are meant to represent the opposites in life.
Afterlife:
In Zoroastrian tradition there are two beliefs about the afterlife, one shows the belief of rebirth and the other doesn't. The first is, your spirit stays in the world for three days and three nights in the care of angels. On the dawn of the forth day it goes to Chinvat Bridgewhere the soul meets a maiden. If you had done good deeds it would appear beautiful and you would past to the spirit world, if not she would appear ugly you would be sent back to Earth to learn more lessons. The second is that you either go to a heaven called Vahishta Ahu or to a hell called Achista Ahu.
