> If the big bang never happened, then why does correcting for the rate of expansion allow us to find results such as this?-An expanding universe does not necessarily imply the big bang. There are other models I have linked before, such as the electric universe model, that also account for these same type of result. More to the point, there are a lot of assumptions being made not only about what they are seeing, but about what those sightings really indicate. That is why the article is filled with phrases like 'seem to be', 'seem to indicate', 'implies', and other vagaries. -All of that being said, my biggest issue with the BBT is that it suffers from the same problem as evolution. It is being read as Fact instead of Theory. Even in scientific terms there is a difference between the two. Unfortunately, modern science often seem to confuse the two, and put on their blinders.-Is it wrong to hope that scientist would keep an open mind?
