Wrong.
Both big media (ex, History Channel) and public schools routinely refer to this ‘event’ as the big bang, the vast majority of the time conveniently omitting the theory part.
It is spoken about in a cavalier manner as if there’s no question as to the validity at all. The word ‘theory’ is rarely mentioned, and when it is it’s downplayed so only those who truly think for themselves catch on.
You know, or you should know, this is done intentionally, much as other lies like global warming and other liberal nonsense meant to control the masses.
And you know, or should know, the mindless Common Core indoctrinated youth cannot think critically for the most part, and will lazily accept what their told. And guess what? Most of them do accept it as fact.
Therefore, Sparky, you are incorrect.
Nice try anyway.
You’re right, I was wrong. Just as the theory of gravity remains a theory, what it attempts to explain (gravity) remains a fact.
Fred Hoyle proposed the Steady State theory in the 30s, which was refuted in the 60s by the discovery of cosmic background radiation. Theory gave way to fact.
The BBT fits the facts whereas steady-state did not. And the facts point to a big bang. Nothing in science is settled 100%, but the big bang is the way to bet.
