The European telescope sent far from Earth to study the oldest light in the Universe has returned its first images. The Planck observatory, launched in May, is surveying radiation that first swept out across space just 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

What big bang??

From your link:

“Today, virtually all financial and experimental resources in cosmology are devoted to big bang studies.

Allocating funding to investigations into the big bang’s validity, and its alternatives, would allow the scientific process to determine our most accurate model of the history of the universe.”

I believe their beef with the bang is actually sour grapes.
