If there are holes in a theory then it is up to us to fill them. The century before last science thought that the Sun shone with the energy due to the release of potential energy due to gravitational collapse. They did not know anything of nuclear energy. This also set an upper limit to the age of the Sun. Not billions of years! How far have we come?

In my lifetime Fred Hoyle worked out where the Elements came from. Before the big bang theory this was not even a problem just a minor inconvenience.
By the way Fred should have got the Nobel Prize.

Even the Earths central core should have cooled down to equilibrium ie not molten over the last four billion years! The reason that the Earths core is molten is due to the energy released by it's radioactive constituents. The sums have been done.

This again can all be tested and measured and checked by anyone who is interested.

All our questions and all our thinking can only lead to more questions. We are finite the Universe is most probably not.
