I'm still waiting for the back-up for the stunning claim: "The Big Bang can be proved wrong in a matter of seconds...." posted in #49 of this thread.

Somehow, I don't think we are ever going to see it...

I'm still waiting for the back-up for the stunning claim: "The Big Bang can be proved wrong in a matter of seconds..

Since proponents of the Big Bang are unlikely to entertain any problems to the theory, merely dismissing them as objections to ultimately be resolved, it is unlikely that any proofs will make it through the labyrinth of biases and deliberate blindness.

Yet...

  1. The primordial explosion should have propelled all the matter/energy of the cosmos out radially from its center, and by the principle of conservation of angular momentum, none of it could ever thereafter have acquired any kind of curvilinear motion.  Yet there are all kinds of curving and orbiting motions of the stars and galaxies of the cosmos, a situation that seems quite impossible if the universe began with the Big Bang.
  2. Sensitive measurements in recent years have increasingly been showing that the background radiation is not homogeneous and isotropic (that is, the same in all directions), as it should be if it had been produced by the Big Bang, but is anisotropic in all directions.
  3. The universe is anything but uniform in large-scale structure, as both the Big Bang and Steady State theories require, but instead is full of huge agglomerations of matter in some regions and vast empty spaces in others, scattered around the cosmos in far from any uniform manner.  Some astronomers are now trying somehow to to imagine a primeval lumpy Big Bang.
  4. In the context of the primeval fireball it is hard to justify the accumulation of any amount of matter in any one location such as a star.  If the explosion is driving all galaxies apart in the resulting expansion, how could it fail to drive all atoms apart before they came together in galaxies?
  5. And saving the best for last, the most serious objection comes back to the second law of thermodynamics.  Explosions produce disorder, not order.  The primordial superexplosion surely would have produced absolute chaos and the most utter disorder.  If the universe is indeed a closed system as evolutionary cosmogonists allege, then how in the name of sense and science could this primeval chaotic disorder have possibly generated the beautifully organized and complexly ordered universe that we now have?
