No it's not a looney theory, but if you follow the latest in physics and cosmology, you come to realize they ultimately don't know what the heck they're talking about. For example, as you see in this article, their calculations of the age, density, and expansion rate of the universe don't "add up" and so they are forever looking for dark energy, dark matter, or a "cosmological constant" to make up the difference.

I just finished Stephen Hawkings' "A Brief History Of Time." While he keeps expressing hope that those last pieces of the "big picture" puzzle are just around the corner, you realize the physicists are juggling so many theoretical balls that they are going to crash in a jumble before anyone can pick up the pieces and make sense of it.

I was remarking about an unfortunate coincidence between a feature of Australian creationist Barry Setterfield's cosmology and the last sentence in this article. I say "unfortunate" knowing that the Young Earthies will take anything close for propaganda purposes. I don't think Chaboyer and Krauss are loonies, although modern cosmology for sure has a lot of real questions to answer.
