Phew! I've only been gone one day and there are 25 new posts here!-A lot of what B-M says seems to be based on the idea of the "big bang" being like a normal explosion within an existing Euclidean/Newtonian space surrounding the point where the explosion occurs, but this is a complete misunderstanding of the theory, which is that the universe itself is expanding, creating space within itself as it goes (to put it in probably oversimplified terms). It is not matter expanding into pre-existing space.
