Gee Alex;
Thanks for your frank reply. I'm actually doing my best to try on the Big Bang, and all it encompasses, to see if it fits in my universe. I'm not sure it does just yet.
I was watching the History Channel's "The Universe" Season One DVD the other day, (I do read more reputable stuff than this, despite this disclosure of my dodgy DVD viewing habits), and Alan Guth, God of Inflation Theory said "anyone who doesn't believe in the Big Bang Theory is basically considered to be a crackpot" (or words to that effect).
I don't mind being a labelled a "crackpot" once I understand enough about a particular way of thinking. I'm not there yet, so I continue the challenge !
I kind of favour Fred Hoyle's steady-state Universe (Einstein's also), although I like seeing how the Pope's crowd deals with new updates on things.
Wonderful how mainstream 'Science' thesedays is driven by the need for funding which will further support the consensus. One should also, perhaps, pause and strive to deliberate on things & get a whiff of what's going on - to be fair, methinks
Cheers & Rgds.
