Why is everyone so stuck to the idea of the Big Bang?

In summary, Dr. Hawking's idea that the universe originated from a big bang singularity is not supported by evidence. His theory is not accepted by the scientific community, and it is feared that it will be rejected if it is not based on the Big Bang.

The [Big Bang] theory is the most comprehensive and accurate explanation supported by scientific evidence and observations.

I think that is "Why everyone is so stuck to the idea".

In other words, you knew we were telling the truth all along (since the TV said the same thing), you were just being contrariwise? And you're accusing us of being argumentative? Hm?? :wink:

Which was what? I thought we'd convinced you why BB is really the only theory that holds any water. What else was there?

Oh no. Science Channel has done it again. They just had a great show called "What Happened Before the Big Bang?". Very interesting and informative. Not only did many genuine scientists describe the BB using the "e" word :devil: but they discussed several very interesting new ideas about cosmology that either built on the BB, threw out the BB, or said "What BB?". It's on again tomorrow at 12:00am (or tonight I guess) and again on the 20th at 4:00am. So set those DVRs so you too can hear a genuine scientist say the BB was an expl... well... I won't ruin it for you :wink:
