Its only the Grant Whores that go along with that ignorant tripe, and its doubtful that even they really believe it.

The Big Bang theory was first proposed by a Catholic priest. That was a long time ago. He wasn't a "grant whore" and obviously he wasn't trying to be politically correct. It doesn't sound like you have ever actually met or been exposed to, or studied the work of any astronomers, physicists, or cosmologists. All that matters in your mind is a certain angry fixed idea that the Big Bang theory must be wrong. You don't have anything to say about the known concrete facts that conflict with this idea.

Surveyors believe in accurate measurements. And it is precisely accurate measurements that support the Big Bang hypothesis. So why don't you address these known facts instead of merely making ad hominem attacks against astronomers?

This absurd assumption on your part may be where you are stumbling. I have had a close relationship with a group of astronomers since about 1981 when I helped a number of them establish accurate permanent azimuth references at their homes (located in the mountains near the observatory where they are employed) so that they could erect quality observatories at home. It has been very informative to discuss the politics of what the general public mistakenly considers to be 'science.' Political correctness reigns supreme in the Emperor's Clothes division of every institution.

Astronomers are as a group, well aware that the 'big bang' is nothing but wallpaper.
