In reply to the discussion: Why You Might Have to Choose Between Science and Faith [View all]Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)indeed it might be difficult to get funding for something that is outside the mainstream, that is always true, but physics and other branches of science are not ossified belief systems, far from it. Theories are disputed all the time. New evidence contradicts old. The whole thing, the whole enterprise of scientific exploration of reality is one of constant change, thesis and antithesis, with inexorable progress. The problems with current cosmology theories are opportunities for new and deeper understanding.
But all of this is beside the point. Cbayer seems to think there is no evidence for the big bang. There is a lot of evidence for the big bang and has been since Hubble in the 20s. Scientists might argue about exactly what all the evidence means, but there is general consensus that it means there was an event commonly referred to as the big bang 13+B years ago. The claim that there is no such evidence is stunningly misinformed.
