Big Bang Busted

Dear Sir:

So, a few people are upset that a NASA spokesman wants to add “theory” to Big Bang references (Herald, 2/26/06). They may be more upset to learn that nearly 400 researchers, scientists and engineers agree (http://www.cosmologystatement.org/), and also believe that it is a poor theory. Since their letter was published in New Scientist (May 22, 2004), the Sloan Digital Sky Survey published a map of the universe which falsifies the Big Bang Theory (http://www.sdss.org/news/releases/20031028.powerspectrum.html).

Scientific American (February 2004) reports that the Big Bang theory rests on not just fact, but four assumptions: (1) there is no center to the universe, (2) there are no large structures in the universe, (3) the universe looks the same no matter where you are, and (4) the universe is unbounded. The map of the universe shows that there is a center of the universe, there are numerous large structures (some two billion light years long), and the universe looks very different from here than from any other location. So, the map shows that the first three assumptions are false, and the fourth is indeterminate. Since the Big Bang theory relies on all four of these assumptions, it is falsified.

For a consistent theory of the origin of the universe, I suggest Dr. Russell Humphreys' book, “Starlight and Time”. Or, just read the first chapter of the Bible.


Sincerely,


Greg Morgan
